The solubility products of `MA, MB, MC` and MD are `1.8xx10^(-10), 4xx10^(-3), 4xx10^(-8)` and `6xx10^(-5)` respectively. If a `0.01M` solution of MX is added dropwise to a mixture containing `A^(-), B^(-), C^(-)` and `D^(-)` ions, then the one to be precipitated first will be:A. `MA`B. `MB`C. `MC`D. `MD`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Since all compound `(MA, MB, MC`, and `MD)` are uni-univalent type. All will have the same formula of solubility in `H_(2)O` (i.e., `sqrt(K_(sp)))`. Same concentration of common ion `(M^(o+))` is added, so solubilities of all will be supressed.
Hence, the compound with least `K_(sp)` value will be precipitated, i.e., `MA` with `K_(sp) = 1.8 xx 10^(-10)`.

What is the `pH` of the following solutions: a. `10^(-7)M NaOH` b. `10^(-8)M NaOH` c. `10^(2) M NaOH`

Answer» a. `pH` of `10^(-7) M NaOh`
First method: The concentration of `overset(Θ)OH` ions from pure water is `10^(-7)M`. So add `[overset(Θ)OH]` from water and `[overset(Θ)OH]` from `NaOH` to get `[overset(Θ)OH]_("Total")`
`:. [overset(Θ)OH]_("Total") = 10^(7)M +2xx10^(-7)M`
`pOH =- "log" [overset(Θ)OH]_("Total")`
`=- log (2xx10^(-7))`
`=- log2 - log 10^(-7)`
`=- 0.3011 +7 = 6.6989`
`:. pH = 14 - 6.6989 = 7.3011`
Second method: Due to common ion `(overset(Θ)OH)`, the supression of ionsiation of `H_(@)O` takes place in the presence of `NaOH`.
Let `[H_(3)O^(o+)] = [overset(Θ)OH] = xM`
`2H_(2)O(l)hArr underset(x M)(H_(3)O^(oplus))(aq)+ underset(x M)(overset(Theta)(O)H)(aq)...(i)`
`NaOH rarr underset(10^(-7)M)(Na^(o+)(aq)) + underset(10^(-7)M)(overset(Θ)OH (aq)) ...(ii)`
`[H_(3)O^(o+)]_("Total")` from equaitons (i) and (ii) `= (x +10^(-7))M`. At equilibrium
`[H_(3)O^(o+)] [overset(Θ)OH] = 10^(-14) = Kw`
`(x) (x +10^(-7)) = 10^(-4)`
or `x^(2) +10^(-7) x - 10^(-14) = 0`
`:. x = (-10^(-7)+sqrt((10^(-7))^(2)+(4xx10^(-14))))/(2)`
`:. [H_(3)O^(o+)] = x = 0.616 xx 10^(-7)M`
Therefore, `[overset(Θ)OH]_("total") = (10^(-7) +0.6.18 xx 10^(-7))M`
`:. pOH =- log (1.618 xx 10^(-7)) = 6.7910`
`pH = 14 - 6.7910 = 6.209`
b. `pH` of `10^(-8)M NaOH`
First method :
`[overset(Θ)OH]_("total") = 10^(-8) ("from NaOH") +10^(-7) ("from" H_(2)O)`
`= 10^(-7) (10^(-1) +1) = 1.1 xx 10^(-7)`
`pOH =- log (1.1 xx 10^(-7)) =- log 1.1 - log 10^(-7)`
`=- 0.0414 +7= 6.9586`
`pH = 14 - 6.9586 = 7.0414`.
Second method : Ket `x = [overset(Θ)OH] = [H_(3)O^(o+)]` from `H_(2)O`
The `[overset(Θ)OH]_("Total")` is generated from the ionisation of NaOH dissociated and from ionisation of `H_(2)O`
`:. K_(w) = (10^(-8)+x) (x) = 10^(-4)` or `x^(2) +10^(-8)x - 10^(-14) = 0`
`:. x =(-10^(-8) +sqrt((10^(-8))^(2)+(4xx10^(-14))))/(2)`
`[H_(3)O^(o+)] = x = 9.5 xx 10^(-8)`
So, `pH = 7.02`
c. pH of `10^(-2) M NaOh`
`{:(,NaOHrarr,Na^(o+)+,overset(Θ)OH,),("Initial concentration",10^(2),0,0,),("Concentration after dissociation",0,10^(2),10^(2),):}`
`pOH =- log (10^(2)) =-2`
`pH = 14 - (-2) = 16`
`pH gt 12`, only means that the `[overset(Θ)OH] gt 1M`. So pH scale becomes in between 2 and 16.

Answer» a. `NaOCN + H_(2)O hArr NaOH + HCN`
`h = sqrt(((K_(h))/(c))) = sqrt(((K_(w))/(K_(a).C)))`
`=sqrt((10^(-14))/(3.33xx10^(-4)xx0.003))`
`h = 10^(-4)`
`:. %` hydrolysis `= 10^(-4) xx 100 = 10^(-2)`.
b. `{:(,NaBu+,H_(2)OhArr,NaOH+,BuH),("Conc before hydrolysis",1,,0,0),("Conce after hydrolysis",1-h,,h,h):}`
`:. [OH^(Theta)] = C.h = sqrt(((K_(h))/(c)))`
`= sqrt((K_(h).C)) = sqrt(((K_(w))/(K_(a)).C ))`
`[OH^(Theta)] = (10^(-14)xx0.2)/(2xx106(-5)) = sqrt(10^(-10)) = 10^(-5)`,
`pOH = 5, pH = 9`

What is the `pH` of the resulting solution when equal volumes of `0.1 M NaOH` and `0.01 M HCl` are mixed?A. `12.65`B. `2.0`C. `7.0`D. `1.04`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Key Concept - When equal volumes of acid and base are mixed, then resulting solution become alkaline if concentration of base is taken high. Let normality of the solution after mixing 0.1 M NaOH and 0.01 M HCl is N.
`therefore N_(1)V_(1)-N_(2)V_(2)=NV`
or `0.1xx1-0.01xx1=Nxx2`
Since, normality of NaOH is more than that of HCl. Hence, the resulting solution is alkaline.
or `[overset(-)(O)H]=N=(0.09)/(2)=0.045 N`
or `pOH=-log(0.045)=1.35`
`therefore pH=14-pOH=14-1.35=12.65`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Molar conc. of HCl `= 10^(-8)`.
`:.` pH = 8. But this cannot not be possible as pH of an acidic solution can not be more than 7. So we have to consider `[H^(+)]` coming from `H_(2)O`.
Total `[H^(+)] = [H^(+)]_(HCl) + [H^(+)]_(H_(2)O)`
IOnisation of `H_(2)O : H_(2)O rarr H^(+) + OH^(-)`
`K_(w) = 10^(-14) = [H^(+)][OH^(-)]`
Let x be the conc. of `[H^(+)]` from `H_(2)O` or `[H^(+)] = x [OH^(-)]_(H_(2)O)`
`:. 10^(-14) = (x + 10^(-8))(x)` or `x = 9.5 xx 10^(-8) M`
`:. [H^(+)] = 10^(-8) + 9.5 xx 10^(-8) = 10.5 xx 10^(-8)`
or pH `= -log(10.5 xx 10^(-8)) = 6.98`
