Solution
25mL of 0.1MHCl will completely neutralize 25mL of 0.1MNaOH. The total volume of the solution will be 25mL+50mL+25mL=100mL. Thus, 50mL of 0.01MHNO3 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.
