Hey, can anyone help me with this question?

Calculate the pH of the resulting solution when 25.0mL of 0.750 mol/Lhydrochloric acid solution is added to 10.0 mL of 0.500 mol/L of barium hydroxide solution???
Thanks!!!! :)

yes it was a multiple choice question
options are:
a) 0.456

b) 0.602

c) 1.862

d) 2.058

answer was B in the end

Do you still need help with it, or did you get it?

still need help. did you manage to work it out?

i got this far:

2HCl + Ba(OH)2 --> BaCl2 + 2H2O
I know no. of moles for HCl is 0.01875mol

no. of moles for Ba(OH)2 is 0.005mol

i know the HCl is in excess but where do i go from here?

ok, your moles for HCl is right but its (OH)2 in Ba(OH)2 so its 0.005 x 2 = 0.01.
Then work out how many moles of H+ are present after all the OH are neutralised (that's just the difference between them) which is 0.00875.
Then work out the concentration of that H+ by dividing 0.00875 by 0.025 + 0.01 (the total volume). Then do your log :) Should give you 0.602.

pretty easy.
Knew pretty much everything.
Last minute revision ftw. Lets see what mark i get (hoping 90+)
Some of the multiple choice was a bit odd.

Relatively easy paper, how'd everyone else find it. I got stumped by the 3rd multiple choice lol.
