Answer:
The pH of the final solution is 0.16 .
Explanation:
The pH of the solution is defined as negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
[tex]pH=-\log[H^+][/tex]
Concentration of HCl = 0.16 M
[tex]HCl(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)[/tex]
HCl is a string acid .1 molar of HCl gives 1 molar of of hydrogen ions.
[tex][H^+]=0.16 M[/tex]
Concentration of [tex]HNO_3[/tex] = 0.52 M
[tex]HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq)+NO_{3}^-(aq)[/tex]
Nitric is a string acid .1 molar of nitric acid gives 1 molar of of hydrogen ions.
[tex][H^+]'=0.52 M[/tex]
Total hydrogen ion concentration:
[tex][H^+]''=[H^+]+[H^+]'[/tex]
=0.16 M+0.52 M=0.68 M
The pH of the solution:
[tex]\pH=-\log[H^+]''=-\log[0.68 M][/tex]
pH = 0.16
The pH of the final solution is 0.16 .
