JEE Advanced · Chemistry · 8. Ionic Equilibrium

When 100 mL of 1.0 M HCl was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in an insulated beaker at constant pressure, a temperature increase of 5.7oC was measured for the beaker and its contents (Expt.1). Because the enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid with a strong base is a constant (-57.0 kJ mol-1) , this experiment could be used to measure the calorimeter constant. In a second experiment (Expt. 2), 100 mL of 2.0 M acetic acid (Ka=2.0×10-5) was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH (under identical conditions to Expt. 1) where a temperature rise of 5.6oC was measured. (Consider heat capacity of all solutions as 4.2 J g-1 K-1 and density of all solutions as 1.0 g mL-1 )
The pH of the solution after Expt. 2 is

  1. A 2.8
  2. B 4.7
  3. C 5.0
  4. D 7.0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4.7

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Final solution contain 0.1 mole of CH3COOH and CH3COONa each.
Hence it is a buffer solution.
pH=pKa+log[CH3COO-][CH3COOH]
=5-log2+log0.10.1=4.7
