    2.5 mL of \[\frac{2}{5}\,M\] weak monoacidic base (\[{{K}_{b}}=1\times {{10}^{-12}}\] at \[{{25}^{o}}C\]) is titrated with \[\frac{2}{15}M\,HCl\] in water at \[{{25}^{o}}C\]. The concentration of \[{{H}^{+}}\]at equivalence point is (\[{{K}_{w}}=1\times {{10}^{-14}}\] at \[{{25}^{o}}C\])

    A)  \[3.7\times {{10}^{-13}}M\]

    B)  \[3.2\times {{10}^{-7}}M\]

    C)  \[3.2\times {{10}^{-2}}M\]

    D)  \[2.7\times {{10}^{-2}}M\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Weak monoacidic base, e.g., B OH is neutralised as follows \[BOH+HCl\xrightarrow{{}}BCl+{{H}_{2}}O\] At equivalence point, all B OH get converted into salt. Remember! the concentration of \[{{H}^{+}}\] (or pH of solution) is due to hydrolysis of the resultant salt (B \[Cl\], cationic hydrolysis here.) \[\underset{C\,\,(1-h)}{\mathop{{{B}^{+}}}}\,\,+{{H}_{12}}O\underset{Ch}{\mathop{BOH}}\,+\underset{Ch}{\mathop{{{H}^{+}}}}\,\] Volume of \[HCl\] used up, \[{{V}_{a}}=\frac{{{N}_{b}}{{V}_{b}}}{{{N}_{a}}}\] \[=\frac{2.5\times 2\times 15}{2\times 5}\] = 7.5 mL Concentration of salt, \[[BCl]=\frac{cone.\text{ }of\,base}{total\text{ }volume}\]                 \[=\frac{2\times 2.5}{5\,(7.5+2.5)}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{10}=0.1\]                 \[{{K}_{h}}=\frac{C{{h}^{2}}}{1-h}=\frac{{{K}_{w}}}{{{K}_{b}}}\] (h should be estimated whether that can be neglected or not) On calculating, \[h=0.27\](significant, not negligible) \[[{{H}^{+}}]=Ch=0.1\times 0.27=2.7\times {{10}^{-2}}M\]
