Arrange the following resultant mixtures in increasing order of their pH values
A. 1010 mL 0.20.2 M Ca(OH)2_2 + 2525 mL 0.10.1 M HCl
B. 1010 mL 0.010.01 M H2_2SO4_4 + 1010 mL 0.010.01 M Ca(OH)2_2
C. 1010 mL 0.10.1 M H2_2SO4_4 + 1010 mL 0.10.1 M KOH
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AB<C<AB < C < A
  2. BC<A<BC < A < B
  3. CC<B<AC < B < A
  4. DA<C<BA < C < B

Correct answer

C. C<B<AC < B < A

Step-by-step solution

For mixture A:
Millimoles of OH−=10×0.2×2=4^{-}=10 \times 0.2 \times 2 = 4
Millimoles of H+=25×0.1×1=2.5^{+}=25 \times 0.1 \times 1 = 2.5
Remaining OH−=4−2.5=1.5^{-}=4 - 2.5 = 1.5 mmol
The solution is basic, so pH >7> 7.

For mixture B:
Millimoles of H+=10×0.01×2=0.2^{+}=10 \times 0.01 \times 2 = 0.2
Millimoles of OH−=10×0.01×2=0.2^{-}=10 \times 0.01 \times 2 = 0.2
The solution is completely neutralized, so pH =7= 7.

For mixture C:
Millimoles of H+=10×0.1×2=2^{+}=10 \times 0.1 \times 2 = 2
Millimoles of OH−=10×0.1×1=1^{-}=10 \times 0.1 \times 1 = 1
Remaining H+=2−1=1^{+}=2 - 1 = 1 mmol
The solution is acidic, so pH <7< 7.

Therefore, the increasing order of pH values is C << B << A.

Answer: C<B<AC < B < A
