I have a quick question which I've been stuck on,

Calculate the pH of the solution produced by mixing 50 mL of 0.1mol L-1 HCl with 20mL of 0.05 mol L-1 NaOH.

If anyone could help me out it would be muchly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

1. Chemical equation
2. Calculate moles of each substance
3. Find whichever chemical is in excess
4. Find new concentration of hydrogen or hydroxide ions
5. Calculate new pH

Following my steps:
1.

2.



3.

Therefore HCl is in excess

4.



5.

And you can finish off the question.

Where did you get the 0.07 from?
