Calculate the `pH` at equilibrium point when a solution of `10^(-6) M CH_(3)COOH` is titrated with a solution of `10^(-6)M NaOH. K_(a)` for acid `2 xx 10^(-5) (pK_(a) = 4.7)` (Answer given in whole number).

Answer» Salt of `W_(A)//S_(B) (CH_(3)COONa)` is formed.
If we calculate `pH` by using hydrolysis formula for salt of `W_(A)//S_(B)`
`pH = (1)/(2) (pK_(w) + pK_(a) + logC)]` Salt of `S_(A)`
`[["Salt"]=(10^(-6))/(2)(underset("doubled")("Volume is"))]`
`= (1)/(2) (14 +4.7 + "log" (10^(-6))/(2))`
`= (1)/(2) (18.7 - 6- 0.3) = 6.2`
But `pH` of salt of `W_(A)//S_(B)` is always `gt 7`.
So for such dilute solutions of `CH_(3)COOH` and `NaOH`.
Contribution of `overset(Theta)OH` ions from `H_(2)O` must be considered.
`{:(CH_(3)COOH +, NaOH rarr, CH_(3)COONa +H_(2)O),(10^(-6)M xxV, 10^(-6)M xxV, 10^(-6)M xxV):}`
`[CH_(3)COONa] = (10^(-6)M xx V)/(2V) = 0.5 xx 10^(-6)`
`= 5 xx 10^(-7) lt 10^(-6)M`
`[overset(Theta)OH] = ((K_(w)xxC)/(K_(a)))^(1//2) = ((10^(-14)xx5xx10^(-7))/(2xx10^(-5)))^((1)/(2))`
`=(2.5)^((1)/(2)) xx 10^(-8)M = 1.58 xx 10^(-8)M lt 10^(-6)M`
Total `[overset(Theta)OH] = [1.58 xx 10^(-8) +10^(-7)` (from `H_(2)O)]`
`= 10^(-7) (1.58 xx 10^(-1) +1) = 1.158 xx 10^(-7)`.
`pOH =- log (1.158 xx 10^(-7)) = 6.93`
`pH = 14 - 6.93 = 7.07 ~~7`.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`P^(H) = P^(ka) + "log"(N_(S)V_(S))/(N_(a)V_(a))`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`pH=pK_(a)+log.(["Salt"])/(["Acid"])`
`9=-log (5xx10^(-10))+log.(["Salt"])/(["Acid"])`
or `log. (["Salt"])/(["Acid"])=9+log (5xx10^(-10))=1.6990`
or `(["Salt"])/(["Acid"])=`antilog`(1.6990)=0.5`
Ph `=-log K_(a)+log.(["Salt"])/(["Acid"])`

`K_(a)` for `HCN` is `5 xx 10^^(-10)` at `25^(@)C`. For maintaining a constant `pH` of `9.0`, the volume of `5M KCN` solution required to be added to `10mL` of `2M HCN` solution isA. `9.3 mL`B. `7.95 mL`C. `4mL`D. `2mL`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`pK_(a) =- log(5 xx 10^(-10))`
`=- 0.7 + 10 =9.3`
Acidic buffer will be formed.
`pH = pK_(a) + "log" ([KCN])/([HCN])`
Let `V mL` of `KCN` is added
Total volume `= (V +10)mL`
mmol of `KCN = 5 xx V`
`:. [KCN] = (5 xx V "mmol")/((V + 10)mL)`
mmol of `HCN = 2 xx 10 = 20`
`:. [HCN] = (20 "mmol")/((V +10)mL)`
Thus, from equation (i),
`9 = 9.3 + log[(5V//(V+10))/(20//(V+10))]`
`- 0.3 = log ((5V)(20))`
`log (V)/(4) = - 0.3`
`(V)/(4) = "Antilog" (-0.3 + 1-1)`
`= "Antilog" (bar(1).7) = 5 xx 10^(-1)`
`V = 20 xx 10^(-1) = 2 mL`

By how many units does the `pH` change from the start to the stage when the `HCl` is almost completely neutralized and acidic acid remains unreacted? `K_(a)` for acetic acid `=2xx10^(-5)`.A. `1.5`B. 3C. 2D. `3.25`

Buffer solutions can be prepared form mixtures ofA. `HCI` and `NaCI`B. `NaH_(2)PO_(4)` and `Na_(2)HPO_(4)`C. `CH_(3)COOH +NaCI`D. `NH_(4)OH+NH_(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Buffer solution is a mixture of
`W_(A) + salt of W_(A)//S_(B)`
or a mixture of `W_(B) + "Salt of" W_(B)//S_(A)`.
So `(NaH_(2)PO_(4)+Na_(2)HPO_(4))` is a buffer.
`{:(a.[HCI+NaCI,],,S_(A)+"Salt of"S_(A)//S_(B)("not buffer"),,),(b.[NaH_(2)PO_(4)+Na_(2)HPO_(4)],,W_(A)+ "Salt of" W_(A)//S_(B).("It is a buffer"),,),(c.[CH_(3)COOH+NaCI],,W_(A)+"Salt of"S_(A)//S_(B)("not buffer"),,),(d.[NH_(4)OH+NH_(3)],,W_(B)+W_(B)("not buffer"),,):}`

`1 M `benzoic acid `(pK_(a)=4.2)` and `1 M C_(6)H_(5)COONa` solutions are given separately. What is the volume of benzoic acid required to prepare a `93mL` buffer solution of `pH=4.5`?

Answer» `pH = pK_(a) + (log)([HCO_(3)^(-)])/([C_(6)H_(5)CO_(3)]) rArr 4.5 = 4.2 + log ((V_(2))/(V_(1))) rArr (V_(2))/(V_(1)) = 2`
`:.` volume of `C_(6)H_(5)COONa` required `= V_(@) = 62 mL`
volume of `C_(6)H_(5)COOH` required `= V_(1) = 31 mL`.

For neutralisation of `HF+NaOH rarr NaF+H_(2)O`, heat released during neutralisation is:A. `gt13.7 kcal`B. `lt13.7 kcal`C. `=13.7 kcal`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The `F^(-)` being smallest in size and thus releases more heat of hydration during neutralisation which gives higher value.
