Answer» Correct Answer - C
`Ag_(2)CrO_(4) hArr 2Ag^(+)+CrO_(4)^(-2)`
Given `[2Ag^(+)]=1.5 xx 10^(-4) mol L^(-1)`
Thus, `[Ag^(+)]=0.75xx 10^(-4) mol L^(-1)`

Answer» Let V mL of `0.1M HCOONa` be mixed to 50 mL of `0.05 M HCOOH`.
`[.: [ ] = ("Total millimole")/("Total volume")]`
`:. "In mixture" [HCOONa]= (0.1xxV)/((V+50))`
`[HCOOH]= (50xx0.05)/(V+50)`
`:. pH= -log K_(a)+log ((["Salt"])/(["Acid"]))`
`:. 4.0=3.80+log (((0.1xxV)//(V+50))/(2.5//(V+50)))`
`:. V = 39.62 mL`

Calculate the `pH` of `0.1M K_(3)PO_(4)`soln. The third dissociation constant of orthophoshoric acid is `1.3 xx10^(-12)`. Assume that the hydrolysis proceeds only in the first step.

Answer» First method:
Use direct formula for the `pH` of salt of `S_(B)//W_(A)`
`pH =(1)/(2)(pK_(w) +pK_(a) + logC)`
`= (1)/(2) (14 +11.86 -1) =12.43`
Second method:
`K_(3)PO_(4) +H_(2)O hArr K_(2)HPO_(4) +KOH`
or `PO_(4)^(3-) +H_(2)O hArr HPO_(4)^(2-) + overset(Θ)OH`
Since hydrlysis proceeds only in I step.
`:. [overset(Θ)OH] = C.h =C sqrt(((K_(w))/(K_(a).C)))=sqrt(((K_(w).C)/(K_(a))))`
`K_(a)` is III dissociation constant of acid `H_(3)PO_(4)`
`H_(3)PO hArr H^(o+) +H_(2)PO_(4)^(-1)...K_(1)`
`H_(2)PO_(4)^(Θ) hArr H^(o+) + HPO_(4)^(2-) ...K_(2)`
`HPO_(4)^(2-)hArr H^(o+) +PO_(4)^(3-) K_(3) = K_(a) = 1.3 xx 10^(-12)`
`[overset(Θ)OH] = ((10^(-14)xx0.1)/(1.3xx10^(-12)))^(1//2) = 8.7 xx10^(-2)M`
`:. pOH = 1.5634, pH = 12.4366`

The ionization constant of formic acid is `1.8xx10^(-4)`. Around what pH will its mixture with sodium formed give buffer solution of higher capacity. Calculate the ratio of sodium formate and formic acid in a buffer of `pH 4.25`.

Answer» For acidic capacity is `(dpH)/(dN_("acid or base"))`
Thus highest buffer capacity of this is `(dpH)/(dN_("acid"))`. This will be maximum when pH is near to `pK_(a)`. Also the best results are obtained by buffer when `((["Salt"])/(["Acid"]))=10` or `(1)/(10)` i.e., within the range `pK_(a)+-1`
Also `pH= -log K_(a)+log (["Salt"])/(["Acid"])`
`4.25= -1.8xx10^(-4)+ log((["Salt"])/(["Acid"]))`
or `4.25=3.74+log ((["Salt"])/(["Acid"]))`
`:. ((["Salt"])/(["Acid"]))=3.24`
1425.

Let a mole of `NH_(4)CI` are added to `(1.0xx1)` mole of `NH_(4)OH` 1 litre.
Given `pH= 9 , :. pOH =5`
`:. 5= -log 1.8xx10^(-5)+log((a)/(1.0xx1))`

What should be the concentration of NaA, if its 50 mL solution of `0.10MNH_(3)` and `0.10MNH_(4)CI` without changing the pH by more than `1.0` unit ? Assume no change in volume. `(K_(a) for HA= 1.0xx10^(-5))`

Answer» Let a be the concentration of NaA.
After mixing, `M_(NaA)=(axx50)/(100)=(a)/(2)`
and `M_(HA)=(0.2xx50)/(100)=0.1`
Now `pH= -log K_(a)+log((["Salt"])/(["Acid"]))`
`4= -1.0xx10^(-5)+log ((a//2)/(0.1))`
`a=0.2M`
1433.

How many moles of NaOH can be added to `1.0L` solution of `0.10MNH_(3)` and `0.10MN_(4)CI` without changing in volume. `(K_(b)for NH_(3)=1.8xx10^(-5))`

Answer» For buffer of `NH_(3)` and `NH_(4)CI`,
`pOH= -log 1.8xx10^(-5)+log((1)/(1))`
`pOH= 4.75`
Original `pOH=4.75`, on addition of NaOH, it will change only 1 unit (decrease) i.e., new `pOH= 3.75` or pH will increase from `9.25` to `10.25`.
`OH^(-)NH_(4)^(+)rarrNH_(3)+H_(2)O`
`:. 3.75= -log 1.8xx10^(-5)+log (([NH_(4)^(+)])/(NH_(3)])`
`([NH_(4)^(+)])/([NH_(3)])=0.1`
Thus NaOH addition must not change the concentration ration by more than `0.1`
i.e., `[NH_(4)^(+)]=0.1[NH_(3)]` ......(1)
Initially
`[NH_(4)^(+)]+[NH_(3)]=0.1+0.1=0.2` ......(2)
By eqs. (1) and (2),
`0.1xx[NH_(3)]+[NH_(3)]=0.2`
`:. [NH_(3)]=0.182`
`:. [NH_(4)^(+)]=0.018`
Thus new solution must have `[NH_(4)^(+)]=0.018` in place of `0.10`. Therefore additio of `0.1-0.82` mole of NaOH be made.
1434.

A solution of weak acid HA was titrated with base NaOH. The equivalent point was reached when 40 mL. Of 0.1 M NaOH has been added. Now 20 mL of 0.1 M HCl were added to titrated solution, the pH was found to be 5.0 What will be the pH of the solution obtained by mixing 20 mL of 0.2 M NaOH and 20 mL of 0.2 M HA?A. `7`B. `9`C. `10`D. `11`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`HA + NaOH rarr NaA + H_(2)O` milli moles of salt
`NaA` or `A^(-) = 40 xx 0.1 = 4`
`{:("Now",A^(-)+,H^(+)rarrHA),("Initial milli moles",4,2),("Final milli moles",2,-2):}`
Acidic buffer solution is formed and `[A^(-)] = [HA]`
`pH = pK_(a) + "log" ([A^(-)])/([HA]) rArr pK_(a) = 5`
Now `HA + NaOH rarr NaA + H_(2)O`, hydrolysis of
`A^(-)` will takes place
`[NaA] = ("milli moles of acid")/("total volume") `
`= (20 xx 0.2)/(20 + 20) = 0.1`
`pH = 1/2 (pK_(w) + pK_(a) + "log" C) = (1)/(2) [14+5-1] = 9`

Acidic solution is defined as a solution whose `[H^(o+)] gt [overset(Theta)OH]`. Base solution has `[overset(Theta)OH] gt [H^(o+)]`. During acid-base titrations, `pH` of the mixture will change depending on the amount base added. This variation is shown in the form of graph by making plot as titration curves `100mL` of `1.0 M H_(3)A (K_(a_(1)) = 10^(-3), K_(a_(2)) = 10^(-5), K_(a_(3)) = 10^(-7))` is titrated against `0.1M NaOh`. The titration curve is as follows. What is the `pH` at point `A?A. `3`B. `4`C. `5`D. `6`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Since `K_(a_(1))` and `K_(a_(2))` are high values therfore point `A, K_(a_(1))` and `K_(a_(2))` are considered.
`H_(3)A hArr H^(o+) + H_(2)A^(Theta)`
`H_(2)A^(Theta) hArr H^(o+) + HA^(2-)`
`K_(a_(1)) xx K_(a_(2)) = ([H^(o+)][HA^(2-)])/([H_(2)A]) [["At equivalence point",],[[HA^(2-)]=,[H_(3)A]]]`
`-log K_(a_(1)) - log K_(a_(2)) =- 2log [H^(o+)]`
`pK_(a_(1)) + pK_(a_(2)) = 2pH`.
`:. pH = (pK_(a_(1)) + pK_(a_(2)))/(2) = (3+5)/(2) = 4`

In qualitative analysis, cations of group II as well as group IV precipitated in the form of sulphides. Due to low value of `Ksp` of group `II` sulphides, group reagent is `H_(2)S` in presence of dil. `HCl` and due to high value of `Ksp` of group IV sulphides, group reagent is `H_(2)S` in presence of `NH_(4)OH` and `NH_(4)Cl`. In `0.1M H_(2)S` solution, `Sn^(2+), Cd^(2+)` and `Ni^(2+)` ions are present in equimolar concentration `(0.1M)`. Given : `Ka_(1)(H_(2)S) = 10^(-7), Ka_(2)(H_(2)S) = 10^(-14), K_(sp)(SnS) = 8 xx 10^(-29) , K_(sp) (CdS) = 10^(-28), K_(sp)(NiS) = 3 xx 10^(-21)` At what pH precipitate of NiS will formA. `12.76`B. `7`C. `1.24`D. `4`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`k_(sp) (NiS) = 3 xx 10^(-21) :. [S^(-2)] = (3 xx 10^(-21))/(0.1)`
`{:(H_(2)ShArrH^(+)+HS^(-1),k_(a_(1))=10^(-7)),(HS^(-1)hArrH^(+)+S^(-2),k_(a_(2))=10^(-14)):}`
`k_(a_(2)) = ([H^(+)][S^(2)])/([HS^(-1)])`
`k_(a_(1)).k_(a_(2)) = 10^(-21)([H^(+)]^(2)[3xx10^(-20)])/([0.1])`
`[H^(+)] =sqrt((1)/(300)):.pH = 1.2388`

Calculate the `pH` of a solution made by mixing `0.1 M NH_(3)` and `0.1M (NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4). (pK_(b)` of `NH_(3) = 4.76)`

Answer» It is a basic buffer.
`["Base"] = [NH_(3)] = 0.1m`
`["Salt"] = [(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)] = 0.1 xx2 = 0.2M`
`[(NH_(4))_(2) SO_(4) rarr 2overset(o+)NH_(4) +SO_(4)^(2-)]`
`pOH = pK_(b) + "log"(["Salt"])/(["Base"])`
`4.76 +log (0.2M)/(0.1M)`
`= 4.76 +log2`
`= 4.76 +0.3 = 5.03`
`:. pH = 14 - 5.03 = 8.97`
