  • question_answer
    By adding \[20\,ml\] \[0.1\,N\,HCl\] to \[20\,ml\] \[0.001\,N\,\] \[KOH,\] the pH of the obtained solution will be               [KCET 2000]

    A)                 2             

    B)                 1.3

    C)                 0             

    D)                 7

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               20 ml. of 0.1 NHCl = \[\frac{0.1}{1000}\times 20g\] eq. = \[2\times {{10}^{-3}}g\] eq.                    20ml. of 0.001 KOH = \[\frac{0.001}{1000}\times 20\,gm\]eq.                     = 2 × \[{{10}^{-5}}g\]eq.                     \[\therefore \] HCl left unneutralised = \[2({{10}^{-3}}-{{10}^{-5}})\]                    \[=2\times {{10}^{-3}}(1-0.01)\] = \[2\times 0.99\times {{10}^{-3}}\]    \[=1.98\times {{10}^{-3}}g\,eq.\]                    Volume of solution = 40 ml.                    \ [HCl] = \[\frac{1.98\times {{10}^{-3}}}{40}\times 1000M\] = \[4.95\times {{10}^{-2}}\]                                 \[\therefore \] pH = \[2-\] log 4.95 = 2 ? 0.7 = 1.3.
