Q.

Following solutions were prepared by mixing different volumes of NaOH and HCl of different concentrations:

A.  60 mL M10HCl + 40 mL M10 NaOH

B.  55 mL M10HCl + 45 mL M10 NaOH

C.  75 mL M5HCl + 25 mL M5 NaOH

D.  100 mL M10HCl + 100 mL M10 NaOH

pH of which one of them will be equal to 1                                     [2018]

1 B  
2 A  
3 D  
4 C  

Ans.

(4)

pH = 1, so [H+]=10-1

For acid-base mixture: N1V1-N2V2=N3V3

(For NaOH and HCl, Normality = Molarity)

A.   M1(H+)=60×110-40×110100=2×10-2 M  i.e. pH=1.6981.7

B.  M2(H+)=55×110-45×110100=1100=10-2 M  i.e. pH=2

C.  M3(H+)=75×15-25×15100=10-1M  i.e. pH=1

D.  M4(H+)=100×110-100×110200=0  i.e. pH=7
