The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement **Statement:** The pH of a 1 x 10^-8 molar solution of HCl is 8. **Solution:** - HCl is a strong acid and completely dissociates in water. - A 1 x 10^-8 M solution of HCl will contribute H⁺ ions from the acid itself and also from the autoionization of water. - The concentration of H⁺ from water is 1 x 10^-7 M. - Therefore, the total concentration of H⁺ ions in the solution is: \[ [H^+] = 1 \times 10^{-8} + 1 \times 10^{-7} = 1.1 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{M} \] - The pH is calculated as: \[ pH = -\log(1.1 \times 10^{-7}) \approx 6.96 \] - Since the pH is approximately 6.96, which is less than 7, the statement that the pH is 8 is incorrect. ### Step 2: Analyze the second statement **Statement:** The conjugate base of H₂PO₄⁻ is HPO₄²⁻. **Solution:** - The conjugate base is formed by removing one proton (H⁺) from the acid. - Removing one H⁺ from H₂PO₄⁻ gives HPO₄²⁻. - Therefore, this statement is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze the third statement **Statement:** The autoprotolysis constant of water increases with temperature. **Solution:** - The autoprotolysis constant of water (Kw) is defined as: \[ K_w = [H^+][OH^-] \] - As temperature increases, the ionization of water increases, leading to a higher concentration of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions. - Therefore, Kw increases with temperature, making this statement correct. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth statement **Statement:** When a solution of a weak monoprotic acid is treated against a strong base at half neutralization point, pH will be equal to half pKa. **Solution:** - At the half-neutralization point, the pH of the solution is equal to the pKa of the weak acid, not half of it. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect. ### Conclusion - The correct statements are: - Statement 2: Correct - Statement 3: Correct - The incorrect statements are: - Statement 1: Incorrect - Statement 4: Incorrect Thus, the correct options for this question are **B and C**. ---

To determine which statements are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement **Statement:** The pH of a 1 x 10^-8 molar solution of HCl is 8. **Solution:** - HCl is a strong acid and completely dissociates in water. - A 1 x 10^-8 M solution of HCl will contribute H⁺ ions from the acid itself and also from the autoionization of water. ...
