Detailed Solution

HCl+NaOHNaCl+H2O

pH = -log[H+]moles=concentration×volume

Explanation: For HCl, pH = 2

pH = -log[H+]

2 = -log[H+]

[H+] = 10-2 = 0.01M

moles=concentration×volume = 0.01 x 200 =2

Similarly, for NaOH pH =12 then pH + pOH = 14

12 + pOH = 14

pOH = 14-12 = 2

pOH = -log[OH-]

2 = -log[OH-]

[OH-]=10-2 = 2

moles = 0.01 x 300 = 3

Total volume = 200 + 300 = 500ml

Out of 3 moles of NaOH, 2 moles of NaOH will be neutralized with 2 moles of HCl (3-2=1).

the [OH-] concentration remaining = 1500 = 2×10-3M

pOH = -log[OH-] = -log[2×10-3]= 2.70

Then pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - 2.70 = 11.3.
