    The pH of a solution prepared by mixing 2.0 ml of  HCl solution of pH 3.0 and 3.0 ml of NaOH of pH 10.0 is

    A)  3.5                             

    B)  2.5

    C)  6.5                             

    D)  5.5

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given, for HCl, pH = 3. \[[{{H}^{+}}]={{10}^{-3}}={{M}_{1}}.\] \[{{V}_{1}}=2\,ml\] For \[NaOH,\,pH=10,\,[{{H}^{+}}]={{10}^{-10}}\,={{M}_{2}}.\] \[{{V}_{2}}=3\,ml\] \[{{M}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}-{{M}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}={{M}_{R}}({{V}_{1}}+{{V}_{2}})\] \[{{10}^{-3}}\times 2-{{10}^{-10}}\times 3={{M}_{R}}(2+3)\] \[2\times {{10}^{-3}}=5\times {{M}_{R}}\] \[{{M}_{R}}=4\times {{10}^{-4}}=[{{H}^{+}}]\] \[pH=\log (4\times {{10}^{-4}})=4-0.6020=3.39=3.5.\] Hence, the correct option is [a].
