Solution

The correct option is B 0.25 mol/L
Assume that 0.5 L each of aqueous solutions of 0.1 M HCl and 0.2 M H2SO4 are mixed.
0.5 L of 0.1 M HCl will give 0.5L×0.1mol/L=0.05mol of H+ ions.
Each molecule of H2SO4 produce 2 H+ ion.

0.5 L of 0.2 M H2SO4 will give 0.5L×0.2mol/L×2=0.2mol of H+ ions.
Total number of moles of H+ ions =0.05+0.2=0.25 moles.
Total volume =0.5+0.5=1.0L
[H+]=0.25mol1.0L=0.25mol/L
