Question

Calculate pH of a resultant solution of 25 mL of 0.1 M HCl, 50 mL of 0.01 M HNO3 and 25 mL of 0.1 M NaOH.(Round off answer to integer)

Solution

25 mL of 0.1 M HCl will completely neutralize 25 mL of 0.1 M NaOH.
The total volume of the solution will be 25mL+50mL+25mL=100mL.
Thus, 50 mL of 0.01 M HNO3 is diluted to 100 mL.
Hence, its concentration will be reduced to one half.
Hence, the hydrogen ion concentration will b 0.012=0.005M .
The expression for the pH of the solution will be pH=log[H+]=log0.005=2.3.
Hence, the pH of the resulting solution is 2.3.
Therefore answer is 2.
