2 Chemistry -- Ionic Equilibrium

What will be the resultant pH when 200 mL of an aqueous solution of HCl (pH = 2) is mixed with 300 mL of an aqueous solution of NaOH (pH = 12)?

What will be the resultant pH when 200 mL of an aqueous solution of HCl (pH = 2) is mixed with 300 mL of an aqueous solution of NaOH (pH = 12)?

Since, according to the question;

200 ml of an aqueous solution of HCl is mixed with 300 ml of an aqueous solution of NaOH.

The given pH of HCl is 2;

The given pH of NaOH is 12;

We have to find the resultant pH.

∵ [HCl] = 

∵ [NaOH] = 

So, the reaction goes like this :

Since , before reaction;        

After reaction;

0              1                 2                    2

We will be finding the concentration of the hudroxide ion first.

∴  left from NaOH =  M

  

The Ph of the hydroxide ion is calculated as 

Since , we know that 

∴ The  of the hydrogen ion is calculated as:
