The pH is 13.31.
The smaller the pH value the more acidic, the larger the pH value the more basic.
The range is 0 to 14, with 7 representing neutrality. Acidity is indicated by pH values below 7, whereas baseness is shown by pH values above 7.
Molarity (M) is the amount of a substance in a certain volume of solution. Molarity is defined as the moles of a solute per liters of a solution.
Molarity of NaOH = 0.40 M
Volume of NaOH = 10.0 mL
Molarity of HCL = 0.50 M
Volume of HCL = 20.0 ml
[tex][OH^-] = (M_2V_2 -M_1V_1)/(V_1+V_2)\\[/tex]
[tex]= (0.50*20.0 - 0.40*10.0) / (20+10)[/tex]
[tex]= (10 -4)/ 30\\[/tex]
[tex]= 6/30[/tex]
[tex]=0.2[/tex]
[tex]pOH = - log (OH ^-)[/tex]
[tex]pOH = - log (0.2)\\[/tex]
[tex]pOH = - ( - 0.698)[/tex]
[tex]pOH = 0.69[/tex]
[tex]pH + pOH = 14[/tex]
[tex]pH = 14 -0.69[/tex]
[tex]pH = 13.31[/tex]
Therefore, the pH after 10.0 mL of 0.40 M NaOH is 13.31.
