    By adding  \[20\text{ }ml\text{ }0.1N\,\,HCl\]to \[20\text{ }ml\,0.001\text{ }N\text{ }KOH\], the pH of the obtained solution will be:

    A)  \[2\]              

    B)  \[1.3\]

    C)  \[0\]               

    D)  \[7\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We know that,  \[20ml.\]of \[0.1N\text{ }HCl\] contains \[[{{H}^{+}}]=\frac{20}{1000}\times 0.1=2\times {{10}^{-3}}moles.\] Similarly \[20ml\]. of \[.001\text{ }N\text{ }KOH\] contains \[[O{{H}^{-}}]=\frac{20}{100}\times 0.001=2\times {{10}^{-5}}moles\] The \[[{{H}^{+}}]\] in the mixture \[=(2\times {{10}^{-3}})(2\times {{10}^{-5}})=2\times 99\times {{10}^{-5}}\] \[1000\text{ }ml\]of mixture \[[{{H}^{+}}]=\frac{1000\times 2\times 99\times {{10}^{-5}}}{40}=4950\times {{10}^{-5}}\] \[\because \] \[pH=-\log [{{H}^{+}}]=5-\log 4950\] \[=5-3.6946=1.3\]
