    Determine the pH of the solution that results from the addition of 20.00 mL of 0.01 M\[Ca{{(OH)}_{2}}\] to \[30.00\,\,mL\] of 0.001 M HCl

    A)  11.30           

    B)  10.53

    C)  2.70            

    D)  8.35

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Normality of \[Ca{{(OH)}_{2}}=2\times M=2\times 0.01=0.02\] \[\therefore \] Millimoles of \[Ca{{(OH)}_{2}}=N\times V\] \[=0.02\times 20=0.4\]  Normality of \[HCl=1\times M=1\times 0.01=0.01\] \[\therefore \] Millimoles of \[HCl=N\times V=0.01\times 30=0.3\] Excess millimoles of\[Ca{{(OH)}_{2}}=0.4-0.3=0.1\] Total volume of solution \[=20+30=50\,mL\] \[\therefore \] Normality of solution \[=\frac{millimoles}{volume}\] \[=\frac{0.1}{50}=2\times {{10}^{-3}}\] \[ie,\] \[[O{{H}^{-}}]=2\times {{10}^{-3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[pOH=-\log \,(2\times {{10}^{-3}})=2.7\] \[\therefore \] \[pH=14-pOH\] \[\therefore \] \[pH=14-2.7=11.3\]
