Answer»

(1) is correct.
(2) is correct.
(3) is correct.
Both (1) and (2) are correct.

Solution :Letus analyseeach case :
` (1) 100 m L` of 0.01`M CH_3COOH + 100 m L` of ` 0.1 M CH_3COONa`
` [CH_3 COOH]=(100 xx 0.1)`
`[CH_3 COONA]=( 100 xx 0.1)`
themixtureis anacidicbuffer
usinghendersonequationwe get
` pH =pK_a + log([CH_3 COONa])/([CH_3 COOH])`
` impliesPH =pK_a+ og((100 xx 0.1 ))/( ( 100 xx 0.1 )) impliespH =pK_a+ log 1`
`impliespH= pk_a( :.log1=0)`
(2)100 mLof `0.1M CH)3 COOH+ 50mL ` of`0.1M NaOh `

Remaining
5milliole0 millimole5 millimole5millimole
so anacidicbufferis forward
` thereforepH = pK_a+ log(["salt"])/(["acid"])`
`impliespH=pK_a + log (5)/(5)IMPLIES PH= pK_a `
`(:.log (5)/(5) =- log1=0)`
`(3)100m L` of ` 0.1 M CH_3COOH+100 mL` of ` 0.1 M`
` NaOH `

Now`CH_3COONa ` whichisa saltfromweakacidandstrongbasewillundergohydrolysis(anionichydrolysisandthe pHwillbedeter minedas below
`pH =7 +1/2 pK_a+1/2log c`
so` pHnepK_a `
(4) `100 mL` of `0.1M CH_3 COOH + 100mL`of 0.1 M `NH_3`
`[CH_3] or [NH_4OH ] =( 100 xx 0.1) =10`
` (##MTG_WB_JEE_CHE_C12_E02_010_S03.png" width="80%">
Now`CH_3 COONa` whichis a saltfromweakacidand strongbasewill underogohydrolysis( anionichydrolysis) andthe pH will bedetereminedas below
`pH= 7 + 1/2pK_a+1/2log c`
So `PHnepK_a `
(4) 100 mLof 0.1 `CH_3COOH+ 100 mL ` of`0.1MCH_3`
`[CH_3 COOH ]=(100 xx 0.1 )=10`
`[NH_3 COOH ]=(100 xx 0.1 )=10`

`pH =7 +1/2(pk_a-pK_b)`
so `pHnepK_a `
