Question

A 1dm3 solution was made by mixing 0.0040 mol of HCl(aq) and 0.0025 mol of NaOH(aq). What was the pH of the resulting solution?

Answer 1

The pH of the resulting solution is 2.82.

What is pH ?

pH is the measure of acidity and alkalinity of a solution , It has a range of 1 to 14.

HCl          +                   NaOH      →         NaCl       +         H₂O

0.0040                         .0025                 0                       0

0.0040 -0.0025             0                   0.0025          0.0025

Moles of HCl = 0.0015

As 0.0025 moles of NaOH reacts with 0.0025 moles of HCl leaving behind 0.0015 moles of HCl

Concentration of HCl = 0.0015/ 1 = 0.0015 M

[ H⁺] = 0.0015 M

pH = -log [ H⁺]

pH = -log [ 0.0015]

pH = 2.82

Therefore the pH of the resulting solution is 2.82.
