Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1.93s

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=10^{-4} \mathrm{M}\) No. of moles of \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) in \(100 \mathrm{~mL}\) solution \(=\frac{M V}{1000}=\frac{10^{-4} \times 100}{1000}=10^{-5}\) Mass of \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) in solution \(=10^{-5} \times 40=4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~g}\) By…
