Question

A solution with a pH of 10 is mixed with a solution with a pH of 4. What would the pH of the mixture most likely be?

  1. 10
  2. 4
  3. 40
  4. 7

hintHint:

The pH of solution is average of the two.

The correct answer is: 7


    pH 4 = [H+] = 10-4 = [OH-] = 10-10
    pH 10 = [H+] = 10-10 = [OH-] = 10-4
    They exactly neutralize each other. Therefore, the pH of the mixture most likely be 7.
