    \[20ml\] of \[0.5N\,HCl\] and \[35\,ml\] of \[0.1N\,NaOH\] are mixed. The resulting solution will               [KCET 2005]

    A)                 Be neutral

    B)                 Be basic

    C)                 Turn phenolphthalein solution pink

    D)                 Turn methyl orange red

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               (i) 20 ml of 0.5 N HCl                    \[0.5N\Rightarrow 1000\,ml\,0.5\,mole\,HCl\] is present in \[20\,ml\]                    \[=\frac{20\times 0.5}{1000}=1.0\times {{10}^{-2}}\]                    (ii) 35 ml of 0.1 N NaOH                    \[0.1N\Rightarrow 1000ml\] of 0.1 mole \[NaOH\] is 35 ml                    \[=\frac{35\times 0.1}{1000}=0.35\times {{10}^{-2}}\]                    Total = 20 + 35 = 55 ml.                    \[\Rightarrow \] (1.0?0.35)10?2=0.65 ´ 10?2mole HCl                       HCl = H++Cl?                    \[\Rightarrow \] [HCl] = [H+]+[Cl?]                    55 ml contains 0.65 ´ 10?2 mole of H+ ions                    \[1000\,ml-\frac{0.65\times {{10}^{-2}}\times {{10}^{3}}}{55}=\frac{6.5}{55}\]                    \[pH=-\log [{{H}^{+}}]=-\log (6.5/55)\]                    \[=\log 55-\log 6.5=0.92\]                                 Due to acidic nature of solutions the colour of phenolphthalein becomes pink.
