    \[\text{50 mL}\]of\[\text{0}\text{.1}\,\text{M}\,\text{HCl}\] and 50 mL of 0.2 M \[\text{NaOH}\] are mixed. The pH of the resulting solution is

    A)  1.30         

    B)  4.2

    C)  12.70        

    D)  11.70

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     50 ML of \[0.1\,M\,HCl=\frac{0.1\times 50}{1000}=5\times {{10}^{-3}}\] 50 ML of \[0.2\,M\,NaOH=\frac{0.2\times 50}{100}=10\times {{10}^{-3}}\] Hence, after neutralisation \[\text{NaOH}\]is left. \[\text{=10}\times \text{1}{{\text{0}}^{-3}}-5\times {{10}^{-3}}\] \[=5\times {{10}^{-3}}\] Total volume = 100 cc The concentration of \[\text{NaOH}\] \[=\frac{5\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 1000}{100}=0.05\,M\] \[[O{{H}^{-}}]=0.05\,M=5\times {{10}^{-2}}M\] \[pOH=-\log [O{{H}^{-}}]\] \[=-\log [5\times {{10}^{-2}}]\] \[=1.3010\] \[pH+pOH=14\] \[pH=14-1.3010\] \[=12.699=12.70\]
