pH value of which one of the following is not equal to one?

  1. A \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HNO}_{3}\)
  2. B \(0.05 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\)
  3. C \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\)
  4. D \(50 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\) of \(0.4 \mathrm{M}\) \(\mathrm{HCl}+50 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\) of \(0.2 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Among the given, \(\mathrm{pH}\) of \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\) is not equal to one as \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\) is a weak acid, thus does not ionise completely.
