Equilibrium - Result Question 45

####47. Equal volumes of three acid solutions of pH3,4 and 5 are mixed in a vessel. What will be the H+ ion concentration in the mixture?

[2008]

(a) 1.11×104M

(b) 3.7×104M

(c) 3.7×103M

(d) 1.11×103M

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (b) [H3O]+for a solution having pH=3 is given by

[H3O]+=1×103 moles/litre [[H3O]+=10pH]

Similarly for solution having pH=4, [H3O]+=1×104moles/ litre and for pH=5

[H3O+]=1×105moles/ litre

Let the volume of each solution in mixture be 1L, then total volume of mixture solution

=(1+1+1)L=3L

Total [H3O]+ion present in mixture solution =(103+104+105) moles

Then [H3O]+ion concentration of mixture solution

=103+104+1053M=0.001113M=0.00037M=3.7×104M.
