Solution

The correct option is D 2.3
25mL of 0.1MHCl will completely neutralize 25mL of 0.1MNaOH.
The total volume of the solution will be 25mL+50mL+25mL=100mL.
Thus, 50mL of 0.01MHNO3 is diluted to 100mL. This means its concentration will be reduced to one half.
Hence, the hydrogen ion concentration will b 0.012=0.005M .
The expression for the pH of the solution will be pH=log[H+]=log0.005=2.3.
Hence, the pH of the resulting solution is 2.3
