Given pHpH of a solution ′A′' A ' is ′3′' 3 'and it is mixed with another solution ′B′' B ' having pH′2′pH' 2 '. If both solutions are mixed, the resultant pHpH of the solution will be (Assume concentration and volume remain unchanged after mixing of individual& solution)

Options

  1. A3.23. 2
  2. B1.91. 9
  3. C3.43. 4
  4. D3.53. 5

Correct answer

B. 1.91. 9

Step-by-step solution

Given that,

pHpH of solution A=3A = 3

[H+]\left[H^{+}\right] of A=10−3MA = {10}^{- 3}M and, pHpH of solution B=2B = 2

[H+]\left[H^{+}\right] of B=10−2MB = {10}^{- 2}M

Thus, total [H+]\left[H^{+}\right] are =10−3+10−2=1.1×10−3M= {10}^{- 3} + {10}^{- 2} = 1. 1 \times {10}^{- 3}M

∴pH(final)=∴ pH \left(final\right) =- log⁡[H+]\log\left[H^{+}\right]

=−log⁡[1.1×10−3]= - \log \left[1. 1 \times {10}^{- 3}\right]

=3−log⁡1.1= 3 - \log 1. 1

=3−1.04=1.9= 3 - 1. 04 = 1. 9

Therefore, the resultant pHpH of the solution will be 1. 9</p></p>
