Calculate the pH of a solution made by mixing equal volumes of a solution of HCl with a pH of 1.68 and a solution of HNO₃ with a pH of 2.39. (Assume the volumes are additive.) A) 4.06 B) 2.03 C) 2.39 D) 1.90 E) 1.60

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mixing equal volumes of the two solutions results in the average concentration of H⁺ ions. Calculate the concentration of H⁺ from each solution, average them, and find the pH of the resulting solution.
