    50 mL each of \[1\,\,M\,\,C{{H}_{3}}COOH\] and 0.50 M NaOH are mixed\[({{K}_{a}}\,\,for\,\,C{{H}_{3}}COOH\,\,=\,\,1.8\times 1{{0}^{-\,5}})\]. The pH of the mixture is

    A)  6.27                

    B)  2.67                

    C)  1.67                            

    D)  4.74

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    As we know, number of millimoles = molarity \[\times \] volume in ml \[\therefore \] For 50 ml \[\operatorname{C}{{H}_{3}}COOH\] millimoles \[= \,1 M \times  50 ml\] \[= \,\,50 m moles\] For 50 ml NaOH millimoles \[=\, 0.5 M \times  50 ml\] \[= \,\,25 m moles\] Thus from the following equation, \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  50\,\,m\,\,mol \\  5\,\,m\,\,mol \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{\operatorname{CH}}_{3}}COOH}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  25\,\,m\,\,mol \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,0 \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{NaOH}}\,\,\,\to \,\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,0 \\  25\,\,m\,\,mol \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COONa}}\,\,+\,{{H}_{2}}O\] \[pH=p{{K}_{a}}+\log \,\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}\] \[=\,\,log\left( 1.8\times 1{{0}^{-}}^{5} \right)+\log \frac{25}{25}\] \[pH\,\,=\,\,4.74\]
