    \[20\,\,mL\] of a \[HCl\] solution exactly neutralises \[40\,\,mL\] of \[0.005\,\,N\,\,NaOH\] solution. The\[pH\] of\[HCl\]. solution is

    A) \[2.5\]                                  

    B) \[2.0\]

    C) \[1.5\]                                  

    D) \[1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    For acid-base reaction,                 \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (acid) \\  \,\,HCl \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{N}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}}}\,=\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (base) \\  NaOH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{N}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}}}\,\]                 \[20\times {{N}_{1}}=40\times 0.005\]                 \[{{N}_{1}}=0.010=1\times {{10}^{-2}}\]                 \[pH=-\log [{{H}^{+}}]=-\log (1\times {{10}^{-2}})=2.0\]
