JEE Main 2025 — 3 April, Evening Shift — Question 14

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.

  1. Option A:

    10 M HCl solution

  2. Option B:

    20 M HCl solution

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    Neutral solution

  4. Option D:

    0.2 M NaCl solution

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

10 mL of 2 M NaOH reacts with 20 mL of 1 M HCl to give completely neutralised 30 mL of NaCl(20 m\mathrm{NaCl}(20 \mathrm{~m} mole)

solution. 10 mL of this solution has 2030×10=203 m mol\frac{20}{30} \times 10=\frac{20}{3} \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~mol} of NaCl

In Final 100 mL solution :

[HCl]=2100×1000=20M[NaCl]=203×100=115M\begin{aligned} & {[\mathrm{HCl}]=\frac{2}{100} \times 1000=20 \mathrm{M}} \\& {[\mathrm{NaCl}]=\frac{20}{3 \times 100}=\frac{1}{15} \mathrm{M}} \end{aligned}
