Question #129022

n1(H+)=c(HNO3)V1=0.10M0.02L=0.002moln_1(H^+) = c(HNO_3)V_1 = 0.10M*0.02L = 0.002mol

n2(H+)=2c(H2SO4)V2=20.05M0.03L=0.003moln_2(H^+)=2c(H_2SO_4)V_2 = 2*0.05M*0.03L = 0.003mol

ntotal=0.002mol+0.003mol=0.005moln_{total} = 0.002mol+0.003mol = 0.005mol

Vtotal=0.02L+0.03L=0.05LV_{total} = 0.02L+0.03L = 0.05L

c(H+)=n/V=0.005mol/0.05L=0.10Mc(H^+) = n/V = 0.005mol/0.05L = 0.10M

pH=logc(H+)=+1pH = -logc(H^+) = +1

Answer: A +1
