200 mL of 0 . 01 MHCl is mixed with 400 mL of 0 . 01 MH 2 SO 4 . The pH of the mixture is
Options
- A1 . 14
- B1 . 78
- C2 . 34
- D3 . 02
Correct answer
B. 1 . 78
Step-by-step solution
pH of a mixture of HCl + H 2 SO 4 has to calculated The number of equivalents of HCl is equal to 0 . 02   equivalents The number of equivalents of H 2 SO 4 given is equal to 0 . 008 equivalents Hydrogen ion concentration of the resultant mixture is equal to H + = 0 . 01 × 200 + 0 . 01 × 2 × 400 600 = 2 + 8 600 = 10 600 = 1 60 pH = - log 1 60 = 1 . 78
