Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(100\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text { 1M Benzoic acid }+1 \mathrm{M} \text { Sodium Benzoate }\) \(\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{ml}\right)\) \(\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}} \mathrm{ml}\right)\) Millimole \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{a}} \times 1\) \(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{s}} \times1\) \(\mathrm{pH}=4.5\)…
