The solubility product of a soluble salt `A_(x)B_(y)` is given by: `K_(SP)= [A^(y+)]^(x) [B^(x-)]^(y)`. As soon as the product of concentration of `A^(y+)` and `B^(x-)` increases than its `K_(SP)`, the salt start precipitation. It may practically be noticed that AgCI is more soluble in water and its solublity decreases dramatically in `0.1M NaCI` or `0.1M AgNO_(3)` solution. It may therefore be conncluded that in presence of a common ion, the solubiolity of salt decreases.

A solubility contains one mole each of HA and HB (both are weak acids) in one litre solution. Now 1 mole of NaOH is added to this solution so that both the acids are partly neutralised. Heat of neutralisation for HA and HB are- `11.8` and- `12.4` kcal respectively and the heat produced during partial neutralisation of HA and HB is- `12.25` kcal. Mole ratio of neutralisation of HA and HB is:A. `1:4`B. `1:2`C. `1:3`D. `1:5`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Let a mole of HA and b mole of HB are neutralised. Thus, since both are monobasic acid, so
`axx11.8+bxx12.4=12.25`
Also, 1 mole of NaOH used only 1 mole of of both acids, thus
`a+b=1`
`axx11.8+(1-a)xx12.4=12.25`
`:. a=0.25`
and `b= 0.75`
Thus mole ratio of neutralisation of HA and HB
`= (0.25)/(0.75)=(1)/(3)`

Calculate `[overset(Theta)OH]` of a solution after `100mL` of `0.1M MgC1_(2)` is added to `100mL` of `0.2M NaOH. K_(sp) Mg(OH)_(2) = 1.2 xx 10^(-11)`.

Answer» a. `pH = 9 :. [H^(o+)] = 10^(-9)M or [OH^(Theta)] = 10^(-5)m`
Now if `Mg(NO_(3))_(2)` is present in a solution of `[OH^(Theta)] = 10^(-5)M`, then
Product of ionic concentration
`= [Mg^(2+)] [OH^(Theta)]^(2)`
`= [0.001][10^(-5)]^(2)`
`10^(-13)` lesser than `K_(sp) of Mg (OH)_(2)` (i.e., `8.9 xx 10^(-12))`
`Mg(OH)_(2)` will not precipitate.
b. When `Mg(OH)_(2)` starts precipitation, then,
`[Mg^(2+)] [OH^(Theta)]^(2) = K_(sp) of Mg (OH)_(2)`
`[0.1] [OH^(Theta)]^(2) = 1 xx 10^(-11)`
`:. [OH^(Theta)] = 10^(-5)M :. pOH =5`

Thus, `10mmol` of `Mg(OH)_(2)` are formed. The product of `[Mg^(2)] [OH^(Theta)]^(2)` is, therefore, `[(10)/(200)]xx[(20)/(200)]^(2) = 5 xx 10^(-4)` which is more than `K_(sp)` of `Mg(OH)_(2)`. Now solubility `(S)` of `Mg(OH)_(2)` can be derived by
`K_(sp) = 4S^(3)`
`:. S = 3sqrt((K_(sp))/(4)) = 3sqrt((1.2 xx 10^(-11))/(4)) = 1.4 xx 10^(-4)`
`:. [OH^(Theta)] = 2S =2.8 xx 10^(-4)`.

`[H_(3)O^(o+)] = Calpha = 0.1 xx 0.01 = 10^(-3)`.
`pH = 3, pOH = 11`.

A monoprotic acid `(HA)` is `1%` ionised in its aqueous solution of `0.1M` strength. Its `pOH` will beA. 11B. 3C. 10D. 2

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`[H_(2)O^(+)]=c alpha =0.1 xx (0.01)=1xx10^(-3)`
`:. pH=3` . Hence, `pOH =14-3=11`.

Hydrolysis constant of `NH_(4)^(+)` is `5.55 xx 10^(-10)`. The ionisation constant of `NH_(4)^(+)` isA. `1.8xx 10^(9)`B. `5.55xx10^(-10)`C. `5.55xx10^(4)`D. `1.8xx10^(-5)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`NH_(4)^(+)+H_(2)O hArr NH_(4)OH +H^(+)`
`K_(h)=([NH_(4)OH][H^(+)])/([NH_(4)^(+)])`
Since `[NH_(4)OH]=[H^(+)]`
`:. K_(h)=([H^(+)]^(2))/ ([NH_(4)^(+)])`
`NH_(4)^(+)` ionises as follows ,
`NH_(4)^(+) hArr NH_(3) +H^(+)`
`K_(a)=([NH_(3)][H^(+)])/([NH_(4)^(+)])`
Since `[NH_(3)]=[H^(+)]`
`:. K_(a)=([H^(+)]^(2))/([NH_(4)^(+)])`
`:. K_(a)=K_(h)=5.55 xx 10^(-10)`

The `pH` of blood is 7.4 . What is the ratio of `[(HPO_(4)^(2-))/(H_(2)PO_(4)^(-))]` in the blood. `pK_(a)(H_(2)PO_(4)^(-))=7.1`A. `2:1`B. `1:2`C. `3:1`D. `1:3`

Answer» Correct Answer - 1
`{:H_(2)PO_(4)^(-),hArr,HPO_(4)^(2-),+,H^(+):}`
`8xx10^(-8)=((HPO_(4)^(2-))/(H_(2)PO_(4)^(2-)))xx4xx10^(-8)" "rArr" "((HPO_(4)^(2-))/(H_(2)PO_(4)^(2-)))=(2)/(1)`

The pH of `1 M PO_(4)^(3-) (aq)` solution is, [ Given `pK_(b)=(PO_(4)^(3-))=1.62]`A. 13.19B. 1.62C. 8.1D. 4.86

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`PO_(4)^(3-)+H_(2)O hArr HPO_(4)^(2-)+OH^(-)`
`[OH^(-)]=sqrt(K_(b)C)`

`pOH =(1)/(2)[pK_(b)-log C]`
`=(1)/(2)[1.62-log 1 ] =0.81`
`pH =14-pOH =14-0.81=13.19`

pH of `10^(-9)` M HCl isA. 8B. 7C. `lt7`D. `gt7`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`lt7`

Calculate the amount of `NH_(3)` and `NH_(4)CI` required to prepare a buffer solution of pH `9.0` when total concentration of buffering reagents is `0.6 mol L^(-1)`. `(pK_(b)for NH_(3)=4.7,log 2=0.30)`

Answer» `pOH=-logK_(b)=log""(["Salt"])/(["Base"])`
`5=4.7+log""(a)/(b)`
`(a)/(b)=2 :.a=2b`
given`a+b=0.6`
`2b+b=0.6`
`3b=0.6` ,brgt `b=0.2mol e` and `a=0.4mol e`
thus `["Salt"]=0.4M`and `[Base]=0.2M`
