56 mL of 0.089 mol L-1 sulfuric acid solution was added to 250 mL of 0.15 mol L-1 sodium hydroxide solution. The volume of the resulting solution was then made up to 500 mL by the addition

I found the chemical equation. I found the concentration of the products which are
[Na2SO4] = 9.97 x 10 ^ -3
[H20] = 1.994 x 10^-4
[H2SO4] = 0 (limiting reagent)
[NaOH] = 1.76 x 10 ^-2

I'm unable to find the PH with these values.

Find moles of acid and base and then subtract the LR from XS, then convert to conc using your 500mL total volume - then do -log[H+]??? I haven't tried the question but I'm pretty sure that's how you do it

Attached is what I got - pH = 12.74

Although I'm not too confident about the n(OH-) in XS, idk if I was meant to multiply n(H2SO4) by 2 because of the molar ratio

Can someone fact check me??

didn’t see this when I posted mine lmao but yes you are supposed to do that, and since we got the same thing ig it’s right !
