Q.39 The pH of a 10-9 M solution of HCI in water is

Option 1 8
Option 2 -8
Option 3 Between 7 and 8
Option 4 Between 6 and 7
Correct Answer 4
Explanation Between 6 and 7. Since HCl is a strong acid [H+] = [HCl] = 10-9
pH=-Log10 10-9
pH = 9
This cannot be the pH as an HCl solution no matter how dilute must have a pH < 7
Answer between 6 and 7.
Note : Calculation of pH of extremely diluted solution of strong acids/bases
(conc < 10 -6 M . )
The pH of 10 M and 10-8 M HCl is not going to be 7 and 8 respectively.
-7

As any acid solution cannot have pH = 7 (neutral) or p = 8 (base)

Since [H+] in any acid solution no matter how dilute will be more than [H+] in water
alone. Therefore pH of such diluted solutions has to be less than 7.

Q.40 A is an aqueous acid; B is an aqueous base. They are diluted separately, then
Option 1 pH of a increases and pH of B decrease
Option 2 pH of a increases and pH of B decrease till pH in each case is 7
Option 3 pH of A and B increase
Option 4 pH of B and A decrease
Correct Answer 1
Explanation pH = -Log10[H+]
As both the solution are dilute in solution A [H+] decreases. Therefore pH increases in
solution B [OH-] decreases.
pOH increases.
pH decreases.

Q.41 Pure water is kept in a vessel and it remains exposed to atmospheric CO2 which is

which well make the pH of solution drop below 7.

Q.42 An acid solution of pH = 6 is diluted hundred times. The pH the solution becomes:
Option 1 6.95

When an acid solution is diluted 100 times its H+ becomes of the original H+
100 th
-6 + -8
= 10 M after dilution [H ] = 10 M.
By calculation pH = 8
However pH of an acid solution cannot be greater than 7. Therefore the answer is 6.95

Option 4
6.0231010

Q.44 For a pure water,

Option 1 pH increase and pOH decrease with increase in temperature
Option 2 pH decrease and pOH increase with increase in temperature
Option 3 Both pH and pOH increase with increase in temperature
Option 4 Both pH and pOH decrease with increase in temperature
Correct Answer 4
Explanation As pure water is heated its degree of dissociation '' increases which means [H+] and
[OH-] both increases.
Kw increases.
pH and pOH both increases. However the solution will remain neutral as
[H+] = [OH-]

Q.45 Equal volumes of two solutions of hydrochloric acid are mixed. One solution has pH1
while the other has a pH5. The pH of the resulting solution is:
Option 1 Less than 1
Option 2 Between1 and 2
Option 3 3
Option 4 Between 4 and 5
Correct Answer 2
Explanation The concentration of H+ ions in both solutions before dilution is 10-1 M and 10-5 M
respectively.
After dilution the volume becomes double of the original volume.
10 -1 10 -5
H + in the solution is + .

Q.46 The dissociation constants of monobasic acids A, B, C and D are

6 1 0 - 4 , 5 1 0 - 5 , 3 .6 1 0 - 6 a n d 7 1 0 - 1 0 respectively. The pH values of their 0.1 molar
aqueous solutions are in the order:
Option 1 A < B < C <D
Option 2 A >B > C >D
Option 3 A=B=C=D
Option 4 None of these
Correct Answer 1
Explanation From the dissociation contracts it is clear that the strength of the acids is in the order
A >B > C >D.
All the acids have been taken at the same concentration however the [H+] in all the
solutions will not be the same as the extent of dissociation in each case will be
different. The stronger the acid, the more it will dissociate therefore it will produce a
larger [H+].
pH of its solution will be lower. pH will follow order A < B < C < D .

Q.47 The pH of a solution is increased from 3 to 6; its H+ ion concentration will be :

Option 1 Reduced to half
Option 2 Doubled
Option 3 Reduced by 100 times
Option 4 Increased by 1000 times
Correct Answer 3
Explanation pH = -Log10[H+]
When pH charges by 1 unit [H+] charges 10 times.
Therefore if pH increases by 3 units. [H+] reduces by 1000 times.

Option 1 0.001 M AgNO3
Option 2 Pure water
Option 3 0.01 M CaCl2
Option 4 0.01 M NaCl
Correct Answer 3
Explanation Solubility of AgCl will be minimum in the solution which contains the highest
concentration of the common ion Ag or Cl- .
This eliminates option b
In option a [Ag+] = 0.001 M
In option d [Cl-] = 0.01 M
In option c C l- = 0.01 2

 = 0.02 M.
Hence solubility of AgCl will be minimum in 0.01 M CaCl2 solution.

Q.100 1.0 10-6. What will be the solubility of

At 298K, the solubility product of PbCl2 is
PbCl2 in moles/litre
Option 1 6.3 10-3
Option 2 1.0 10-3
Option 3 3.0 10-3
Option 4 4.6 10-14
Correct Answer 1

Q.110 What will be the pH of a solution formed by mixing 40 ml of 0. 10 M HCl with 10 ml of

0.45 M NaOH
Option 1 12
Option 2 10
Option 3 8
Option 4 6
Correct Answer 1
Explanation 0.10
Number of moles of HCl is 40 = 4 10 -3 moles
1000
0.45
Number of moles of NaOH is 10 = 4.5 10 -3 moles
1000
0 .5 1 0 -3 m o le s of NaOH remains unreacted in the solution which now has a total
volume of 40 + 10 = 50 ml.
0.5 10 -3
O H- = 1000

OH- = 0.01 M

p O H = -Lo g 1 0 -2
pOH = 2
pH = 14 - 2 = 12

Q.111 The rapid change of pH near the stoichiometric point of an acid-base titration is the
basis of indicator detection. pH of the solution is the related to ratio of the
concentrations of the conjugate acid (HIn) and base (In-) forms of the indicator by the
expression
Option 1 [HIn] =pH- pK
log In
In-

Option 2 In-
log =pH- pKIn
[HIn]
Option 3 In-
log =pKIn -pH
[HIn]
Option 4 [HIn] =pK
log In -pH
In-

Correct Answer 2
Explanation Indicates themselves are weak acids or bases. The colour of the indicator in the
unionized and ionized form is different. They charge colour in a specifies pH range.
Consider indicator HInd (weak acid).
HInd + H2 O H3 O + Ind-

Q.112 The pH indicators are:

Option 1 Salts of strong acids and strong bases
Option 2 Salts of weak acids and weak bases
Option 3 Either weak acids or weak bases
Option 4 Either strong acids or strong bases
Correct Answer 3
Explanation Either weak acids or weak bases

Q.113 In which of the following acid-base titration, pH is greater than 8 at the equivalence
point?
Option 1 Acetic acid versus ammonia
Option 2 Acetic acid versus sodium hydroxide
Option 3 Hydrochloric acid versus ammonia
Option 4 Hydrochloric and versus sodium hydroxide
Correct Answer 2
Explanation In resulting salt CH3COONa will undergo ammonia hydrolysis resulting in a base
solution.

Q.115 The best indicator for detection of end point in titration of a weak acid and a strong
base is:
Option 1 Methyl orange (3 to 4)
Option 2 Methyl red (5 to 6)
Option 3 Bromothymol blue (6 to 7.5)
Option 4 Phenolphthalein (8 to 9.6)
Correct Answer 4
Explanation In the titration of weak acid and strong base at the end point the resulting solution is
basic (pH > 7) . Therefore a suitable indicator would be the one which charges its
colour in a basic media. Among the given option (d) is the best choice.
