JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Equilibrium / साम्यावस्था Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Equilibrium

  • question_answer
    The following equilibrium is established when hydrogen chloride is dissolved in acetic acid. \[HCl+C{{H}_{3}}COOH\rightleftharpoons C{{l}^{-}}+C{{H}_{3}}COOH_{2}^{+}\] The set that characterises the conjugate acid- base pairs is

    A) \[(HCl,C{{H}_{3}}COOH)and(C{{H}_{3}}COOH_{2}^{+},C{{l}^{-}})\]

    B) \[(HCl,C{{H}_{3}}COOH_{2}^{+})and(C{{H}_{3}}COOH,C{{l}^{-}})\]

    C) \[(C{{H}_{3}}COOH_{2}^{+},HCl)and(C{{l}^{-}},C{{H}_{3}}COOH)\]

    D) \[(HCl,C{{l}^{-}})and(C{{H}_{3}}COOH_{2}^{+},C{{H}_{3}}COOH)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[HCl\] is stronger acid than \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\] and \[C{{l}^{-}}\] is a stronger base than \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH_{2}^{+}\]and is the conjugate base of\[HCl\]. \[\underset{aci{{d}_{1}}}{\mathop{HCl}}\,+C{{H}_{3}}C\underset{bas{{e}_{2}}}{\mathop{OOH}}\,\,\rightleftharpoons \,\,\underset{bas{{e}_{1}}}{\mathop{C{{l}^{-}}}}\,+\underset{aci{{d}_{2}}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOH_{2}^{+}}}\,\]
