What will be the pH of a solution formed by mixing 40 c m 3 of 0.1 M HCl with 10 c m 3 of 0.45 M NaOH?
Options
- A10
- B8
- C5
- D12
Correct answer
D. 12
Step-by-step solution
Number of moles of HCl = M V 1000 = 0.1 × 40 1000 = 0.004 Number of moles of NaOH = M V 1000 = 0.45 × 10 1000 = 0.0045 Remaining moles of NaOH after neutralization = 0.0045 – 0.004 = 0.0005 Molarity of O H - = 0.0005 50 × 1000 = 0.01 M So pOH = 2 So pH = 14 – 2 = 12
