Equal volume of solutions with pH equal to 4 and pH equal to
10 are mixed. pH of the resulting solution is

7

Explanation:

H+ concentration of solutions is related to pH as -

[H+] = antilog(-pH)

For pH = 4,

[H+] = antilog(-4)

[H+] = 10^-4 M

For pH = 10,

[H+] = antilog(-10)

[H+] = 10^-10 M

When these 2 solutions are added, concentration of the mixture will be -

[H+] = √(10^-10 × 10^-4)

[H+] = √(10^-14)

[H+] = 10^-7 M

So now, pH of the mixture will be

pH = -log(10^-7)

pH = 7

when [oh-] is 10-5  m, and [h3o+] is 10-9  m, the poh is 5 and ph is 9. again in both cases the sum of ph and poh is 14. however, the hydrogen ion concentration is not always going to be equal to exactly 1 x 10 raised to a negative number. for example, we skipped over the value of 2.0 x 10-7.

the answer is 303.15 or 303
