- ApH + pOH = 14 for all aqueous solutions
- BThe pH of 1 10-8 M HCl is 8

Correct answer: B
- We need to identify the statement that is not true.
- Check option A:
For aqueous solutions at , Taking negative logarithm, So this is taken as true for aqueous solutions at .
So, A is true.
- Check option B:
Given HCl.
A common mistake is to say: But HCl is an acid, so the solution cannot have .
Reason: at such low concentration, contribution of from water cannot be neglected.
Let total . Water contributes approximately, and acid contributes additionally, so actually . Hence, Certainly not 8.
More accurately, for strong acid concentration , with . Thus, So, Thus statement B is false.
So, B is not true.
- Check option C:
By Faraday's law, 1 faraday C deposits 1 gram equivalent mass.
For copper in : Equivalent mass of copper So 1 faraday deposits 1 gram equivalent of copper.
Thus, C is true.
- Check option D:
Conjugate base is formed by loss of one proton: So the conjugate base of is indeed .
Thus, D is true.
- Final conclusion:
The statement which is not true is:
