Answer:
The correct answer is 1.10.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, the molarity of the NaOH is 0.15 M, that is, 0.15 moles per liter of the solution.
Now the moles present in the 15 ml of the solution will be,
0.015 × 0.15 = 2.25 × 10⁻³ moles of NaOH or 0.0025 moles of NaOH
Now, molarity of the HNO₃ given is 0.20 M, which means 0.2 moles per liter of the solution.
Now the moles present in the 30 ml of the solution will be,
0.030 × 0.2 = 0.006 moles of HNO₃
Now the complete disintegration of acid and base will be,
NaOH (aq) (0.025 moles) ⇔ Na⁺ (aq) (0.025) + OH⁻ (aq) (0.025 moles)
HNO₃ (aq) (0.006 moles) ⇔ H⁺ (0.006 moles) + NO₃⁻ (aq) (0.006 moles)
Now the additional Hydrogen ions at titration point is,
= 0.006 - 0.0025 = 0.0035 moles of H+
Now the concentration of H+ ions in the 45 ml of the solution will be,
= 0.0035/45 × 1000
= 0.078 M
pH = -log[H⁺] = -log [0.078]
= 1.10
