JEE MainChemistrySome Basic Concepts of ChemistryMCQ+4 / −1
10 mL of 2 M NaOH solution is added to 20 mL of 1 M HCl solution kept in a beaker. Now, 10 mL of this mixture is poured into a volumetric flask of 100 mL containing 2 moles of HCl and made the volume upto the mark with distilled water. The solution in this flask is :
  1. A
    0.2 M NaCl solution
  2. B
    20 M HCl solution
  3. C
    Neutral solution
  4. D
    10 M HCl solution

Correct answer: B

  1. First mixing in the beaker

Given:

  • 10 mL10\,\text{mL}10mL of 2 M2\,\text{M}2M NaOH
  • 20 mL20\,\text{mL}20mL of 1 M1\,\text{M}1M HCl

Calculate moles:

n(NaOH)=2×101000=0.02 moln(\text{NaOH}) = 2 \times \frac{10}{1000} = 0.02\,\text{mol}n(NaOH)=2×100010​=0.02mol

n(HCl)=1×201000=0.02 moln(\text{HCl}) = 1 \times \frac{20}{1000} = 0.02\,\text{mol}n(HCl)=1×100020​=0.02mol

Reaction:

NaOH+HCl→NaCl+H2O\text{NaOH} + \text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{NaCl} + \text{H}_2\text{O}NaOH+HCl→NaCl+H2​O

Since moles are equal, both react completely.

So in the beaker, after reaction:

  • NaOH left = 000
  • HCl left = 000
  • NaCl formed = 0.02 mol0.02\,\text{mol}0.02mol

Total volume in beaker:

10+20=30 mL10 + 20 = 30\,\text{mL}10+20=30mL

Thus, the beaker contains 30 mL30\,\text{mL}30mL of NaCl solution having 0.02 mol0.02\,\text{mol}0.02mol NaCl.


  1. Taking 10 mL of this mixture

From 30 mL30\,\text{mL}30mL total solution, 10 mL10\,\text{mL}10mL is taken, i.e. one-third of the total.

So moles of NaCl transferred:

n(NaCl transferred)=0.02×1030=0.023≈0.00667 moln(\text{NaCl transferred}) = 0.02 \times \frac{10}{30} = \frac{0.02}{3} \approx 0.00667\,\text{mol}n(NaCl transferred)=0.02×3010​=30.02​≈0.00667mol


  1. Now this 10 mL is added to a 100 mL volumetric flask containing 2 moles of HCl

The flask already contains:

n(HCl)=2 moln(\text{HCl}) = 2\,\text{mol}n(HCl)=2mol

The transferred solution contains only NaCl and water; there is no NaOH left to neutralize HCl.

Then volume is made up to 100 mL=0.1 L100\,\text{mL} = 0.1\,\text{L}100mL=0.1L.

So final molarity of HCl is:

M=20.1=20 MM = \frac{2}{0.1} = 20\,\text{M}M=0.12​=20M

NaCl is also present, but the dominant description among the options is 20 M HCl solution.


  1. Checking options
  • A: 0.2 M0.2\,\text{M}0.2M NaCl solution
    Incorrect, because HCl is present in huge amount.

  • B: 20 M20\,\text{M}20M HCl solution
    Correct.

  • C: Neutral solution
    Incorrect, strong acid is present.

  • D: 10 M10\,\text{M}10M HCl solution
    Incorrect, actual molarity is 20 M20\,\text{M}20M.


  1. Comparison with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer: B

My derived answer: B

They agree.
