Answer» Correct Answer - A Key Concept - When equal volumes of acid and base are mixed, then resulting solution become alkaline if concentration of base is taken high. Let normality of the solution after mixing 0.1 M NaOH and 0.01 M HCl is N. `therefore N_(1)V_(1)-N_(2)V_(2)=NV` or `0.1xx1-0.01xx1=Nxx2` Since, normality of NaOH is more than that of HCl. Hence, the resulting solution is alkaline. or `[overset(-)(O)H]=N=(0.09)/(2)=0.045 N` or `pOH=-log(0.045)=1.35` `therefore pH=14-pOH=14-1.35=12.65` |
