What is the $\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]$in the final solution prepared by mixing $20.0 \mathrm{~mL}$ of $0.050 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HCl}$ with $30.0 \mathrm{~mL}$ of $0.10 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{Ba}(\mathrm{OH})_2$ ?
  1. $0.10 \mathrm{M}$
  2. $0.40 \mathrm{M}$
  3. $0.0050 \mathrm{M}$
  4. $0.12 \mathrm{M}$

Solution

Number of milliequivalents of $\mathrm{HCl}$ $=20 \times 0.050 \times 1=1$ Number of milliequivalents of $\mathrm{Ba}(\mathrm{OH})_2$ $=2 \times 30 \times 0.10=6$ $\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]$of final solution $\begin{aligned} & \text { milliequivalents of } \mathrm{Ba}(\mathrm{OH})_2 \\ & =\frac{- \text { milliequivalents of } \mathrm{HCl}}{\text { total volume }} \\ & =\frac{6-1}{50}=0.1 \mathrm{M} \\ & \end{aligned}$
