    The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;

    Ca (OH) ₂ + 2HBr - - > CaBr₂ + 2H₂O

    stoichiometry of Ca (OH) ₂ to HBr is 1:2

    number of Ca (OH) ₂ moles reacted - 0.10 mol/L x 0.1000 L = 0.010 mol

    Number of HBr moles added - 0.10 mol/L x 0.4000 = 0.040 mol

    1 mol of Ca (OH) ₂ needs 2 mol of HBr for neutralisation

    therefore 0.010 mol of Ca (OH) ₂ needs - 0.010 x 2 = 0.020 mol of HBr to be neutralised

    but 0.040 mol of HBr has been added therefore number of moles of HBr in excess - 0.040 - 0.020 = 0.020 mol

    then pH of the medium can be calculated using the excess H⁺ ions

    HBr is a strong acid therefore complete ionization

    [HBr] = [H⁺]

    [H⁺] = 0.020 mol / (100.0 + 400.0 mL)

    = 0.020 mol / 0.5 L

    = 0.040 mol/L

    pH = - log[H⁺]

    pH = - log [0.040 M]

    pH = 1.40

    pH of the medium is 1.40
