Answer: The pH of the solution is 1.44.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given solution is a mixture of 100 mL of 0.20 M HCl and 200 mL of 0.10 M NaOH. Since NaCl is a neutral salt, it does not contribute to the concentration of H+ or OH-. The concentration of OH- can be calculated from the concentration of NaOH that was added, which is 0 M. Substituting the concentration of OH- into the equation for [H+], [H+] is found to be infinity which is not physically possible. Therefore, the pH of the solution is calculated using the equation pH = -log[H+], which gives a value of 1.44.
