NEET AIPMT SOLVED PAPER 2000

  • question_answer
                    Which of the following statements about pH and \[{{H}^{+}}\] ion concentration is incorrect?    

    A)                 Addition of one drop of concentrated HCl in \[N{{H}_{4}}OH\] solution decreases pH of the solution

    B)                 A solution of the mixture of one equivalent of each of \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\] and NaOH has a pH of 7

    C)                 pH of pure neutral water is not zero

    D)                 A cold and cone. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] has lower \[{{H}^{+}}\] ion concentration than a dilute solution of \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\] is weak acid while NaOH is strong base, so one equivalent of NaOH cannot be neutralized with one equivalent of \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]. Hence, one equivalent of each does not have pH value as 7.                 As the NaOH is a strong base. The solution will be basic having a pH more than 7.
