1.

Statement 1 : The molar concentrations of proton aceeptor and proton donor become equal at the midpoint of titration of a weak acid. Statement 2 : The `pK_(a)` of a weak acid becomes equal to pH of the solution at the midpoint of its titration.A. Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true , statement 2 is correct explanation for statement 3B. Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true , statement 2 is not a correct explanation for statement 3C. Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is falseD. Statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true

Answer» Correct Answer - A
According to Henderson-Hasselbalch equation
`pH = pK_(a) + log.(["proton acceptor"])/(["proton donor"])`
At midpoint of titration of weak acid
`[HA] = [A^(-)]` and hence `pH = pK_(a) + log 1.0 = pK_(a)`
