Solution
For given solutions, we have:
Moles of NaOH 4/40 = 0.1 moles
Moles of H2SO4 = 9.8/98 = 0.1 moles
Molarity of NaOH = 0.1/100L
And molarity of H2SO4 = 0.1/100
Now, 40L of NaOH solution and 10L of H2SO4 solution are added, thus we get:
Total volume = 50L
Milliequivalents of NaOH = 40x(0.1/100)x1 = 0.04
Milliequivalents of H2SO4 = 10x(0.2/100)x2 = 0.02
Thus, Meq of NaOH left = 0.04 - 0.02 = 0.02
[OH-] = 4x10-4
pOH = -log[4x10-4]
