Determining pH of an acid-base reaction
« on: November 22, 2015, 08:23:40 AM »
Hi there, would anyone be able to help me out with this? I'm not sure of the process...


49mL of a 1.00 mol/L solution of hydrochloric acid is
added to 50ml of a 1.00 mol/L solution of sodium hydroxide and 1 mL of water. 
What is the pH of the resulting solution?

Can you write an equation for the reaction(s) taking place?

You have a neutralization. You see that one component will be in excess.  Which one? You have to get the concentration of this and then convert to pH.
