What volume (in mL) of 0.1MNaOH must be added to 100mL of 0.2MHCl so that the pH of the final solution is exactly 2.00? Give the answer to the nearest integer.
Numerical answer type, answer in mL, tolerance 1.
Answer: 173 mL
Let the volume of NaOH be V mL. Excess HX+=20−0.1V mmol in (100+V) mL must equal 10−2 M: 20−0.1V=0.01(100+V). So 19=0.11V and V=172.7≈173mL.
