Consider the following statements
(a) The pH of a mixture containing 400 mL of and 400 mL of 0.1 M NaOH will be approximately 1.3 .
(b) Ionic product of water is temperature dependent.
(c) A monobasic acid with has a . the degree of dissociation of this acid is .
(d) The Le Chatelier's principle is not applicable to common-ion effect.
The correct statements are:
(a) The pH of a mixture containing 400 mL of and 400 mL of 0.1 M NaOH will be approximately 1.3 .
(b) Ionic product of water is temperature dependent.
(c) A monobasic acid with has a . the degree of dissociation of this acid is .
(d) The Le Chatelier's principle is not applicable to common-ion effect.
The correct statements are:
- (A)(a) and (b)
- (B)(a), (b) and (c)✓ Correct
- (C)(b) and (c)
- (D)(a), (b) and (d)
Answer: (B)
Solution
Take the statements one at a time. For the strong-acid strong-base mixture the diprotic supplies mmol of and the neutralises mmol, leaving mmol of in mL, so M and , so statement (a) holds. That changes with temperature is also correct, since the self-ionisation of water is temperature dependent. For the weak acid with at , , and combining this with gives , a dissociation, which holds too. The remaining statement, denying that Le Chatelier's principle governs the common-ion effect, is the false one, so three of the four statements stand.
