Choose any convenient volume such as 100 mL.
Then calculate millimols each.
mmol = mL x M = ?
H^+ for pH 3 = 1E-3
H^+ for pH 4 = 1E-4
H^+ for pH 5 = 1E-5
mmols pH 3 = 100 x 1E-3
mmols pH 4 = 100 x 1E-4
mmols pH 5 = 100 x 1E-5
M when mixed = total mmols/total mL.
It doesn't matter what volume you choose as long as they are equal. The final M is always total mmols/total mL.
