Answer:

B. Equal to 7.

Explanation:

Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid that decreases pH and ammonia is a strong base that increases pH.

As the initial pH of water is 7,0 the addition of 35.0mL of 0.400M HBr will produce a pH less than 7,0. But, the same effect of decreasing pH is reverted for the addition of 35.0mL of 0.400M HNO3.

That means the net effect of the two addition is to have a pH:

B. Equal to 7.

I hope it helps!
