1. Calculate the moles of HCl and NaOH:
* Moles of HCl: (0.1 mol/dm³) * (50 cm³ / 1000 cm³/dm³) = 0.005 moles
* Moles of NaOH: (0.05 mol/dm³) * (100 cm³ / 1000 cm³/dm³) = 0.005 moles
2. Determine the limiting reactant:
* HCl and NaOH react in a 1:1 ratio. Since we have equal moles of both, they will completely neutralize each other.
3. Calculate the concentration of excess reactant (which is none in this case):
* Since the reaction is complete, there is no excess HCl or NaOH left.
4. Calculate the pH:
* The solution will be neutral because all the acid and base have reacted.
* The pH of a neutral solution is 7.
Therefore, the pH of the mixture is 7.
