(1) \(100 \mathrm{mL}\) of \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+100 \mathrm{mL}\) of \(0.1 \mathrm{MCH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}\)
(2) \(100 \mathrm{mL}\) of \(0.1 \mathrm{MCH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+50 \mathrm{mL}\) of 0.1 \(\mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH}\)
(3) \(100 \mathrm{mL}\) of \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+100 \mathrm{mL}\) of \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH}\)
(4) \(100 \mathrm{mL}\) of \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+100 \mathrm{mL}\) of \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NH}_{3}\)

  1. A (1) is correct
  2. B (2) is correct
  3. C (3) is correct
  4. D Both (1) and (2) are correct
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Both (1) and (2) are correct

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

pH of buffer solutions is given by \[ \mathrm{pH}=\mathrm{pK}_{a}+\mathrm{log} \frac{[\mathrm{salt}]}{[\mathrm{acid}]} \] (1) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\) and \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}\) \(\quad \quad\) \(100 \times 0.1\) \(\quad \quad…
