What is the pH of 10-9 M HCl?
Here , [H+] for acid is < 10 -7 { which is not possible }
so,
total [H+] = 10 -7 + 10 -9
= 1.01 x 10 -7
Thus, pH = - log [H+]
= 6.99
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:
