Consider two solutions. One solution is 0.1385 M Ba(OH)2. The other is 0.2050 M HBr.
a. Calculate the pH of the HBr solution.
b. Calculte the pH of the Ba(OH)2 solution.
c. If 50.00 mL of the Ba(OH)2 is mixed with 30.00 mL of the HBr solution, what is the pH of the resulting solution?
pH = -log (0.2050)
pH = 0.688
pOH = -log(0.1385)
pOH = 0.8585
pH = 14 - pOH
pH = 14 - 0.8585
pH = 13.1415
Resulting solution concentration = ((M1V1 - M2V2) / (V1 + V2))
= (((0.1385*50) - (0.205*30)) / (30+50))
= 0.009687 so resulting solution is basic hence
pOH = -log(0.009687)
pOH = 2.0138
pH = 14 - 2.0138 = 11.986
