Solution

The correct option is B 12.74
pH of solution A = 12
pOH=14pHpOH=2
We know that pOH=log[OH]
2=log[OH]
[OH]1st Solution=102 M

pH of solution B = 13
pOH=14pHpOH=1413=1pOH=1
Since, pOH=log[OH]
1=log[OH]
[OH]2nd Solution=101 M

Assuming both the solutions to be of 1 L
V1=V2=1 L

Total volume (Vf)=V1+V2

Vf=1+1=2 L

Cfinal=[OH]final=C1V1+C2V2V1+V2[OH]final=(102×1)+(101×1)2[OH]final=5.5×102 M

pOHmix=log[OH]finalpOHmix=log(5.5×102)pOHmix=(2log(5.5))=(20.74)pOHmix=1.26pHmix=141.26=12.74
