Correct answer: B

  1. Check statement (a)

We mix:

  • 400 mL400\,\text{mL}400mL of 0.1 M H2SO40.1\,M\,H_2SO_40.1MH2​SO4​
  • 400 mL400\,\text{mL}400mL of 0.1 M NaOH0.1\,M\,NaOH0.1MNaOH

First calculate moles:

n(H2SO4)=0.4×0.1=0.04 moln(H_2SO_4)=0.4\times 0.1=0.04\text{ mol}n(H2​SO4​)=0.4×0.1=0.04 mol n(NaOH)=0.4×0.1=0.04 moln(NaOH)=0.4\times 0.1=0.04\text{ mol}n(NaOH)=0.4×0.1=0.04 mol

Since H2SO4H_2SO_4H2​SO4​ is dibasic, total acidic equivalents:

0.04×2=0.08 mol H+0.04\times 2=0.08\text{ mol }H^+0.04×2=0.08 mol H+

NaOHNaOHNaOH provides:

0.04 mol OH−0.04\text{ mol }OH^-0.04 mol OH−

After neutralization, excess acid equivalents:

0.08−0.04=0.04 mol H+0.08-0.04=0.04\text{ mol }H^+0.08−0.04=0.04 mol H+

Total volume after mixing:

V=0.4+0.4=0.8 LV=0.4+0.4=0.8\,LV=0.4+0.4=0.8L

So,

[H+]=0.040.8=0.05 M[H^+]=\frac{0.04}{0.8}=0.05\,M[H+]=0.80.04​=0.05M

Hence,

pH=−log⁡(0.05)≈1.3\text{pH}=-\log(0.05)\approx 1.3pH=−log(0.05)≈1.3

So (a) is correct.


  1. Check statement (b)

The ionic product of water is:

Kw=[H+][OH−]K_w=[H^+][OH^-]Kw​=[H+][OH−]

This is an equilibrium constant, and equilibrium constants depend on temperature.

Hence (b) is correct.


  1. Check statement (c)

Given a monobasic acid with

Ka=10−5K_a=10^{-5}Ka​=10−5

For a weak monobasic acid HAHAHA of concentration CCC, if its pH is 5:

[H+]=10−5[H^+]=10^{-5}[H+]=10−5

Degree of dissociation α\alphaα is

α=[H+]C\alpha=\frac{[H^+]}{C}α=C[H+]​

Also,

Ka=Cα21−αK_a=\frac{C\alpha^2}{1-\alpha}Ka​=1−αCα2​

If pH =5=5=5, then [H+]=10−5[H^+]=10^{-5}[H+]=10−5. Let us test whether α=50%=0.5\alpha=50\%=0.5α=50%=0.5 is possible.

Using

Ka=C(0.5)21−0.5=0.25C0.5=0.5CK_a=\frac{C(0.5)^2}{1-0.5}=\frac{0.25C}{0.5}=0.5CKa​=1−0.5C(0.5)2​=0.50.25C​=0.5C

Since Ka=10−5K_a=10^{-5}Ka​=10−5,

0.5C=10−5⇒C=2×10−50.5C=10^{-5} \Rightarrow C=2\times 10^{-5}0.5C=10−5⇒C=2×10−5

Then

[H+]=Cα=(2×10−5)(0.5)=10−5[H^+]=C\alpha=(2\times 10^{-5})(0.5)=10^{-5}[H+]=Cα=(2×10−5)(0.5)=10−5

So pH indeed becomes 5 and degree of dissociation is 50%.

Hence (c) is correct.


  1. Check statement (d)

Common-ion effect is explained using suppression of ionization due to addition of a common ion, which is a direct application of Le Chatelier's principle.

Therefore the statement

Le Chatelier's principle is not applicable to common-ion effect

is false.

So (d) is incorrect.


  1. Correct option

Correct statements are:

(a),(b),(c)\boxed{(a), (b), (c)}(a),(b),(c)​

So the correct option is:

B\boxed{\text{B}}B​
