    20 mL of a \[\text{HCl}\]solution exactly neutralizes 40 mL of 0.005 N NaOH solution. The pH of \[\text{HCl}\] solution is

    A)  2.5     

    B)  2.0   

    C)  1.5    

    D)  1

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

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