Solutions
1 (d)

The solution contains weak acid 0.5 Mol + its conjugate base 0.5 Mol and thus, acts as buffer.
2 (a)
Aqueous solution of 1M NaCl and 1M HCl is not a buffer but pH < 7.
3 (a)
Reaction is exothermic and volume is decreasing from left to right, so for higher production of SO3, there should be low temperature and high pressure
4 (a)
The acid is called strong acid when it ionise up to great extent
i.e., if its Ka value is large.
We know that pKa=log (1/Ka)
5 (c)

6 (b)
H2(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ 2 HCl(g)
We know that,
Kp = Kc.(RT)(∆ng)
∆ng = no. of moles of gaseous products – no. of moles of gaseous reactants
= 2-2=0
Kp = Kc.(RT)0
Kp = Kc
7 (a)
NaH2PO4 + H3PO4; NaH2PO4 + Na2HPO4; Na2HPO4 + Na3PO4.
9 (d)

solution will give highest concentration of [OH-]. Hence, it has highest pH.
10 (d)

Thus, solubility order= MX > M3X > MX2
11 (b)
Basic strength ∝ dissociation constant of base (Kb).
So, smaller the value of Kb weaker will be the base.
The weakest base will have smallest value of Kb.
∵ C6H5NH2(aniline) has smallest value of Kb .
∴ It is weakest base.
12 (a)
α= (number of mole dissociated)/(total mole present)
= 10-7/(1000/18)= 1.8×10-9= 1.8×10-7%
Total mole of H2O in 1 litre= 1000/18
13 (c)
A precipitate is formed when the ionic product exceeds the solubility product.
i.e., [A+][B-] > Ksp
14 (d)
2 HgNO3 + 2 HCl ⟶ Hg2Cl2 + 2 HNO3;
Hg2Cl2 in insoluble in water.
15 (c)
Lewis bases are electrons rich compounds.
(i) NH3 and H2O are Lewis bases because they have lone pair of electron.
(ii)AlCl3 is Lewis acid because it can accept electrons.
16 (c)
Ba(NO3)2 gives NO3-, Ba2+ ions, hence Ba2+ ion increases. To keep Ksp constant, [F-] decreases. Thus, it is represented as 1/2 [F-]
18 (c)
As equation ‘III’ is obtained on adding equation ‘I’ and equation ‘II’, so K3 = K1.K2.
19 (a)

Thus, [NO2 ]=2×0.018=0.036 mol
20 (d)
From Henderson equation

pH+pOH=14

pOH= 6
pH + pOH= 14
pH + 6= 14
pH= 14-6= 8
21 (b)
It has sextet of electron and can accept lone pair of electron.
22 (c)
BF3 is electron deficient compound because B has six electrons in outermost orbit. It has incomplete octet. So, it is an electron deficient molecule.
23 (a)
Metal oxides are basic, non-metal oxides are acidic. CaO is more basic than CuO. Water (H2O) is amphoteric.
24 (a)
The acidic character of oxy-acids decreases down the group and increases along the period. Also, higher ox.no. of non-metal in oxy-acid shows more acidic nature.
25 (c)
Follow Arrhenius concept.
