The correct Answer is:
To determine which pairs of compounds cannot exist together in aqueous solution, we need to analyze the reactions that occur between the compounds in each pair. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds in Each Pair:** - Pair I: `NaH₂PO₄` (sodium dihydrogen phosphate) and `Na₂HCO₃` (sodium bicarbonate) - Pair II: `Na₂CO₃` (sodium carbonate) and `NaOH` (sodium hydroxide) - Pair III: `NaOH` and `NaH₂PO₄` - Pair IV: `NaHCO₃` and `NaOH` 2. **Analyze Pair I: `NaH₂PO₄` and `Na₂HCO₃`:** - Sodium dihydrogen phosphate can react with sodium bicarbonate. The reaction can lead to the formation of sodium carbonate and water. Therefore, these two compounds can react with each other. 3. **Analyze Pair II: `Na₂CO₃` and `NaOH`:** - Sodium carbonate is a basic salt and sodium hydroxide is a strong base. They do not react in a way that would prevent them from existing together in solution. Thus, this pair can coexist. 4. **Analyze Pair III: `NaOH` and `NaH₂PO₄`:** - Sodium hydroxide (a strong base) can react with sodium dihydrogen phosphate (an acid) to form sodium phosphate and water. This means they cannot exist together in solution. 5. **Analyze Pair IV: `NaHCO₃` and `NaOH`:** - Sodium bicarbonate (a weak acid) can react with sodium hydroxide (a strong base) to form sodium carbonate and water. Hence, this pair also cannot coexist in solution. 6. **Conclusion:** - The pairs that cannot exist together in aqueous solution are: - Pair III: `NaOH` and `NaH₂PO₄` - Pair IV: `NaHCO₃` and `NaOH` ### Final Answer: The pairs of compounds which cannot exist together in aqueous solution are (III) `NaOH and NaH₂PO₄` and (IV) `NaHCO₃ and NaOH`.
