Ionic Equilibrium _2
Section A
1. What will happen if a small amount of hydrochloric acid is added to a 0.1 M solution of
HF?
a) The percent ionization of HF will increase.
b) The percent ionization of HF will decrease.
c) The percent ionization of HF will remain unchanged.
d) Ka for HF will increase.
7. At 90oC, pure water has [H3O+] = 10-6 mole/litre. The value of Kw at 90oC is
a) 10-6 b) 10-8 c) 10-12 d) 10-14
10. If the temperature of water is increased from 25oC to 45oC, the pH of water at 45oC will
be
a) 7 b) slightly greater than 7 c) < 7 d) 8
11. The dissociation constant of an acid HA is 1 x 10-5. The pH of 0.1 molar solution
of the acid will be approximately
a) 3 b) 5 c) 1 d) 6
12. The pH of a buffer solution of 0.1 M NH4OH and 0.1 M NH4Cl is (pKb = 4.0)
a) 1 b) 4 c) 10 d) 13
13. In a buffer solution of a weak acid and its salt, if the ratio of the concentration
of the salt to that of the acid is increased ten times, the pH of the buffer
a) increases by 1 b) increases 10 times c) decreases 10 times d) decreases by 1
14. When a salt of a weak acid and a weak base is dissolved in water at 25oC, the
pH of the resulting solution will always
a) be 7 b) be greater than 7
c) be less than 7 d) depend upon Ka and Kb values
15. Ksp for AgCl in water at 25oC is 1.8 x 10-10. If 10-5 mole of Ag+ ions are added
to this solution, Ksp will be
a) 1.8 x 10-15 b) 1.8 x10-10 c) 1.8 x 10-5 d) none of these
21. Assertion: Addition of silver ions to a mixture of aqueous sodium chloride and sodium
bromide solution will first precipitate AgBr rather than AgCl.
Reason: Ksp of AgCl > Ksp of AgBr.
22. Assertion: The addition of HCl(aq.) to CH3COOH (aq.) decrease the ionisation of
CH3COOH (aq.).
Reason: Due to the common ion effect H+, ionisation of CH3COOH decreases.
23. Assertion: The ionisation constants of weak diprotic acid are in the order of Ka1 > Ka2.
Reason: Removal of H+ from anion is difficult as compared to neutral atom.
24. Assertion: A substance that can either at as an acid or a base is called ampholyte.
Reason: Bisulfide ion (HS-) and bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) are both ampholytes.
25. Assertion: It is difficult to distinguish the strengths of the strong acids such as
HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, HBr, HI in dilute aqueous solutions.
Reason: In dilute aqueous solution all strong acids donate a proton to water and are
essentially. 100% ionised to produce a solution containing H3O+ ions plus the anions of
strong acid.
