20 mL of 0.08 mol L–1 HCl is mixed with 30 mL of 0.05 mol L–1 NaOH.
What is the pH of the resultant solution?
(A) 1.1
(B) 2.7
(C) 4.0
(D) 7.0

how do u do this please show working

also how do u do question 12 from the 2008 HSC paper


Samples of water were collected from a river at four different sites: forest, mine, town and estuary.

First one:

n(HCl) = c * v = 0.08 * 20 = 1.6mol

n(NaOH) = c * v = 0.05 * 30 = 1.5mol

Therefore HCl is in excess by 0.1mol.

Now,

c = n / v = 0.1 / 50 = 2*10^-3mol/L

pH = - log [H+] = - log [2*10^-3] = 2.69 = 2.7 pH

Therefore HCl is in excess by 0.1mol.

pH = - log [H+] = - log [2*10^-3] = 2.69 = 2.7 pH
Wrong working although the answer is correct.

n(HCl) = c * v = 0.08 * 0.02 = 0.0016mol

n(NaOH) = c * v = 0.05 * 0.03 = 0.0015mol

Therefore HCl is in excess by 0.0001mol. (and hence H3O+ (or H+) ions by the same amount since HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) -> H2O(l) + NaCl(aq) and HCl(aq) + H2O(l) ->H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq) )

Now,

c(H+) = n / v = 0.0001 / 0.05 = 2*10^-3mol/L

pH = - log [H+] = - log [2*10^-3] ~ 2.699 ~ 2.7

Hence (B)

It does not matter. As long as my measurements are kept constant or the same (ie: mL)

It does matter because your units are incorrect then. (not the answer but in your working)

happy?

chillax bro.
