Answer Key & Explanation
1. Ans. Correct answer is 458

Explanation
First, we need to find the moles of NaOH and acetic acid
(CH₃COOH) in the solution:
Moles of NaOH = Volume × Molarity = 20 mL × 0.1 M = 2 mmol
Moles of acetic acid = Volume × Molarity = 50 mL × 0.1 M = 5

mmol
Since NaOH is a strong base, it will react with acetic acid to form
acetate ions (CH₃COO⁻) and water:
CH₃COOH + OH⁻ → CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O
2 mmol of NaOH will react with 2 mmol of acetic acid, resulting in

2 mmol of acetate ions and leaving 3 mmol of acetic acid
unreacted.
Next, we need to find the concentrations of acetic acid and acetate

ions in the resulting 70 mL solution:
Concentration of acetic acid = Moles / Total volume = 3 mmol /

70 mL = 0.04286 M
Concentration of acetate ions = Moles / Total volume = 2 mmol /

70 mL = 0.02857 M
Now we can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to find the

pH of the resulting solution:
pH = pKa + log ([A⁻] / [HA])
Given the pKa of acetic acid is 4.76, we can substitute the values:
pH = 4.76 + log (0.02857 / 0.04286)
Using the given log values, we can approximate the log value:
log (0.02857 / 0.04286) ≈ log (2/3) ≈ log 2 - log 3 ≈ 0.30 - 0.48 =

-0.18
Now substitute this value back into the Henderson-Hasselbalch

equation:
pH = 4.76 - 0.18 = 4.58
To express the pH as the nearest integer multiplied by 10⁻²,

multiply the pH value by 100:
4.58 × 100 = 458
So, the pH of the resulting solution is approximately 458 × 10⁻².

Explanation
Initial concentrations before mixing:
Explanation
We can use the formula for pH to calculate the concentration of
hydrogen ions in each solution:
To dilute the first solution to the desired concentration, we can

use the dilution equation:
where c1 and c1 are the initial concentration and volume,

and c2 and c2 are the final concentration and volume.
Therefore, we need to add 10−1=9 liters of water to the initial
solution to obtain the desired pH. Converting liters to milliliters,
we get:
So the volume of water needed is 9000 mL or 9,000 mL (nearest

integer).

Explanation

Explanation
The given reaction is :
We are given that 40% of water by mass reacts with carbon

monoxide.
The molecular weight of water (H2O) is approximately 18g/mol,

so 1mole of water weighs 18g. Therefore, the mass of the reacted
water is 0.40×18g=7.2g.
ince from the stoichiometry of the reaction we can see
that 1mole of CO reacts with 1mole of H2O to form 1mole of
CO2 and 1mole of H2, this means that 7.2g of H2O is equivalent
to 7.2g/18g/mol=0.4mole.
We start with 1mole of CO and 1mole of H2O. At equilibrium, we
have :
The volume of the container is 10litres. Therefore, we can convert

the moles to concentrations (in M = moles/L) as :
The equilibrium constant Ke for the reaction can be calculated as :
So, substituting the values we get :

As per the question, we need to calculate the value of Ke×102 :

Given the reaction:
At the beginning of the reaction (at time = 0), the total pressure is
solely due to A, hence it is 450 mmHg.
As the reaction progresses, let's denote 'x' as the pressure
decrease due to the decomposition of A. Correspondingly, the
pressure increases by '2x' and 'x' for B and C respectively,
following the stoichiometry of the reaction.
At time 't', the total pressure (P(T)) is the sum of the pressures of
A, B, and C, which is given to be 720 mmHg.
This gives us the equation:
Solving for 'x' gives:
The fraction of A decomposed would then be this change in

pressure divided by the initial pressure:

Explanation
(A) Equilibrium is possible only in a closed system at a given
temperature.
• This statement is true. In a closed system, there is no

exchange of matter with the surroundings. This allows the
reaction to reach equilibrium at a constant temperature.
(B) Both the opposing processes occur at the same rate.
• This statement is true. At equilibrium, the forward and

reverse reactions occur at the same rate, meaning the
concentrations of reactants and products remain constant.
(C) When equilibrium is attained at a given temperature, the

value of all its parameters became equal.
• This statement is false. When a system reaches equilibrium,

it doesn't mean that the values of all parameters (such as the
concentrations of reactants and products) are equal. It
means that these values are constant, i.e., they are not
changing with time because the rates of the forward and
reverse reactions are equal.
(D) For dissolution of solids in liquids, the solubility is constant at

a given temperature.
• This statement is true. The solubility of a solid in a liquid (in

a saturated solution) is indeed constant at a given
temperature and pressure.
Therefore, there are 3 correct statements: (A), (B), and (D).

Q.7. When the hydrogen ion concentration [H+] changes by a
factor of 1000, the value of pH of the solution __________
Answer key & Explanation
1. Ans. (B)
Explanation
This statement is incorrect. For a strong acid like HCl, the
concentration of H+ ions will be the same as the concentration of
the acid, i.e., 1×10−8 M. The pH can be calculated using the
formula:
However, because the concentration is so low, it approaches the

range where water auto-ionization becomes significant. In this
case, the solution pH will be slightly higher than 7, but not exactly
8.
This statement is correct. The conjugate base of an acid is formed

when it loses one H+ ion:
(C) Kw increases with an increase in temperature.

This statement is correct. The ion product of water, Kw, increases
with increasing temperature. This is because the auto-ionization
of water is an endothermic process, meaning it absorbs heat:
As the temperature increases, the equilibrium shifts towards the

formation of more H+ and OH− ions, leading to an increase in Kw.
(D) When a solution of a weak monoprotic acid is titrated against

a strong base at the half-neutralization point, pH=1/2pKa
This statement is incorrect. At the half-neutralization point, the

concentration of the weak acid ([HA]) is equal to the
concentration of its conjugate base ([A-]). According to the
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
At the half-neutralization point, the ratio of [A-] to [HA] is 1, so the

equation becomes:
Therefore, the correct answer is:
(B) and (C) are correct.
2. Ans. (C)
Explanation
The reaction between silver nitrate (AgNO3) and potassium iodide
(KI) forms silver iodide (AgI), which is practically insoluble in
water. The reaction is as follows :
Although the reaction stoichiometry indicates that iodide ions (I-)

and silver ions (Ag+) are produced, silver iodide (AgI)
precipitates out of the solution due to its low solubility, and very
little Ag+ and I- ions remain in the solution. Hence, their
concentration in the solution will be negligible.
So, the correct answer should be :
Option C : Ag+ and I- both

3. Ans. (A)
4. Ans. (B)
5. Ans. (B)
Explanation
Option B is the incorrect statement for the use of indicators in
acid-base titration.
Methyl orange is a suitable indicator for a strong acid vs strong

base titration, not for a weak acid vs weak base titration. In a
weak acid vs weak base titration, the pH at the equivalence point
is typically around 7, which is within the pH range where methyl
orange undergoes a color change. Therefore, methyl orange is not
suitable for use in weak acid vs weak base titrations.
The other options are correct:
Phenolphthalein is a suitable indicator for a weak acid vs strong

base titration because the pH at the equivalence point is basic,
which causes phenolphthalein to undergo a color change.
Methyl orange is a suitable indicator for a strong acid vs weak

base titration because the pH at the equivalence point is acidic,
which causes methyl orange to undergo a color change.
Phenolphthalein may be used for a strong acid vs strong base

titration because the pH at the equivalence point is basic, which
causes phenolphthalein to undergo a color change.

Put value in Eq. (i), we get
ΔG0 = − R (300) ln 100
ΔG0 = − R (300) (2) ln (10)
∵ ln (10) = 2.3
ΔG0 = − R(300) (2) (2.3)
ΔG0 = − 1380 R

K1 = 104
K2 = 1.58 × 103
K3 = 5 × 102
K4 = 102
On adding Eqs. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get
∴ The overall reaction constant (k) or equilibrium constant for formation of

[Cu(NH3)4]2+ is
K = K1 × K2 × K3 × K4
⇒ K = 104 × 1.58 × 103 × 5 × 102 × 102
⇒ K = 7.9 × 1011
where, K = equilibrium constant for formation of [Cu(NH3)4]2+

Q.24. The dissociation constant of acetic acid is x×10−5. When 25

1. Ans. Correct answer is 458

Moles of NaOH = Volume × Molarity = 20 mL × 0.1 M = 2 mmol

Moles of acetic acid = Volume × Molarity = 50 mL × 0.1 M = 5

CH₃COOH + OH⁻ → CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O

2 mmol of NaOH will react with 2 mmol of acetic acid, resulting in

Next, we need to find the concentrations of acetic acid and acetate

Concentration of acetic acid = Moles / Total volume = 3 mmol /

Concentration of acetate ions = Moles / Total volume = 2 mmol /

Now we can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to find the

pH = 4.76 + log (0.02857 / 0.04286)

log (0.02857 / 0.04286) ≈ log (2/3) ≈ log 2 - log 3 ≈ 0.30 - 0.48 =

Now substitute this value back into the Henderson-Hasselbalch

pH = 4.76 - 0.18 = 4.58

To express the pH as the nearest integer multiplied by 10⁻²,

4.58 × 100 = 458
