Question

Equal volumes of three acid solutions of pH 1, 2 and 3 are mixed in a vessel. What will be the H+ ion concentration in the mixture?

Options

  • 3.7 × 10−2

  • 10−6

  • 0.111

  • none of these

MCQ

Solution

3.7 × 10−2

Explanation:

pH = −log10 [H+]

∴ [H+] = 10−pH

Let the volume be x mL

V1M1 + V2M2 + V3M3 = VM

∴ x mL of 10−1 M + x mL of 10−2 M + x mL of 10−3 M = 3x mL of [H+]

∴ [H+] = `("x"[0.1 + 0.01 + 0.001])/(3"x")`

= `(0.1 + 0.01 + 0.001)/3`

= `0.111/3`

= 0.037

= 3.7 × 10−2
