7.2       Learners add 150 cm3 of a sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH, of unknown
          concentration to 200 cm3 of a 0,03 mol∙dm-3 hydrochloric acid solution, HCℓ,
          as illustrated below. They find that the pH of the final solution is 2.
          Assume that the volumes are additive.

             NaOH(aq)
                              150 cm3

                                       200 cm3                   pH = 2

                                  0,03 mol∙dm-3 HCℓ            final solution

          The balanced equation for the reaction is:

                            HCℓ(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCℓ(aq) + H2O(ℓ)

          Calculate the:

          7.2.1        Concentration of the H3O+ ions in the final solution                        (3)
