Question

What will be the resultant pH when 200 mL of an aqueous solution of HCl (pH = 2.0) is mixed with 300 mL of an aqueous solution of NaOH (pH = 12.0)
[Note : write the value to the nearest integer].

Solution

pH 2.0 of HCl corresponds to the hydrogen ion concentration of 0.01 M.
The number of moles of hydrogen ions present are 0.01×0.2=0.0020
pH 12.0 of NaOH corresponds to hydroxide ion concentration of 0.01 M.
The number of moles of hydroxide ions present are 0.01×0.3=0.0030
Out of 0.0030 moles of hydroxide ions, 0.0020 moles will be neutralized with 0.0020 moles of hydrogen ions.
Hence, the hydroxide ion concentration remaining is 0.00100.5=0.0020M
Hence, the pOH of the solution is pOH=log[OH]=log0.0020=2.699
The pH of the solution is pH=14pOH=142.699=11.30111.
