D) 7

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

20 ml. of 0.1 NHCl = 0.11000×20g eq. = 2×103g eq. 20ml. of 0.001 KOH = 0.0011000×20,gm eq. = 2 × 105g eq.
HCl left unneutralised = 2(103105)

=2×103(10.01) = 2×0.99×103

=1.98×103g,eq. Volume of solution = 40 ml. \ [HCl] = 1.98×10340×1000M = 4.95×102

pH = 2 log 4.95 = 2 - 0.7 = 1.3.
