What is the [OH⁻] in the final solution prepared by mixing 20.0 mL of 0.050 M HCl with 30.0 mL of 0.10 M Ba(OH)₂?

  1. 0.40 M
  2. 0.005 M
  3. 0.12 M
  4. 0.10 M

Correct answer: 0.12 M

Solution

Ba(OH)₂ provides 2 OH⁻ ions per molecule. Moles of OH⁻ = 30.0 mL × 0.10 M × 2 = 0.006 mol. Moles of H⁺ = 20.0 mL × 0.050 M = 0.001 mol. Excess OH⁻ = 0.006 - 0.001 = 0.005 mol. Total volume = 50.0 mL = 0.050 L. [OH⁻] = 0.005 mol / 0.050 L = 0.10 M.
