Answer #1

The solution with pH=5 is a weak acid solution whose concentration is=1 x 10^-5N

The solution with pH=9 is a weak base solution whose concentration is=1 x 10–5N, (because it's pOH is 14–9=5).

So an acid and a base (both weak) of equal volume and equal concentration are mixed together we will get a neutral solution.

It's pH will be 7
