    By adding =\[\text{20}\,\text{ml}\,\text{0}\text{.1}\,\text{N}\,\text{HCl}\]to 20 ml \[\text{0}\text{.001}\,\text{N}\,\text{KOH,}\]the pH of the obtained solution will be:

    A)  2                                            

    B)  1.3

    C)  0                                            

    D)  7

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We know that, 20 ml. of \[0.1\,N\,HCl\]contains \[[{{H}^{+}}]=\frac{20}{1000}\times 0.1=2\times {{10}^{-3}}\]moles. Similarly 20 ml. of 0.001 N KOH contains \[[O{{H}^{-}}]=\frac{20}{100}\times 0.001=2\times {{10}^{-5}}\]moles The \[[{{H}^{+}}]\] in the mixture \[=(2\times {{10}^{-3}})(2\times {{10}^{-5}})=2\times 99\times {{10}^{-5}}\] 1000 ml of mixture \[[{{H}^{+}}]=\frac{1000\times 2\times 99\times {{10}^{-5}}}{40}=4950\times {{10}^{-5}}\] \[\because \]\[pH=-\log [{{H}^{+}}]=5-log\,4950\] \[=5-3.6946\,=1.3\]
