The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate the two statements provided: **Statement 1:** H₂S is a weak diprotic acid. **Statement 2:** Salt of aqueous Na₂S has pH greater than 7. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 - **Definition of a Diprotic Acid:** A diprotic acid is one that can donate two protons (H⁺ ions). - **Dissociation of H₂S:** - In water, H₂S partially dissociates to form H⁺ and HS⁻ ions: \[ \text{H}_2\text{S} \rightleftharpoons \text{H}^+ + \text{HS}^- \] - The HS⁻ ion can further dissociate to release another H⁺ ion: \[ \text{HS}^- \rightleftharpoons \text{H}^+ + \text{S}^{2-} \] - **Conclusion:** Since H₂S does not completely dissociate and can donate two protons, it is classified as a weak diprotic acid. Therefore, **Statement 1 is true.** ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 - **Formation of Na₂S:** Sodium sulfide (Na₂S) is formed from the neutralization of a weak acid (H₂S) with a strong base (NaOH). - **Nature of the Salt:** - When a weak acid reacts with a strong base, the resulting salt is basic in nature. - Na₂S will dissociate in water to give Na⁺ and S²⁻ ions. The S²⁻ ion can react with water to produce OH⁻ ions: \[ \text{S}^{2-} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightleftharpoons \text{HS}^- + \text{OH}^- \] - **pH of Na₂S Solution:** The production of OH⁻ ions indicates that the solution will be basic, leading to a pH greater than 7. Therefore, **Statement 2 is true.** ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between the Statements - **Statement 1 is true** because H₂S is indeed a weak diprotic acid. - **Statement 2 is true** because the salt Na₂S has a pH greater than 7 due to its basic nature. - **Explanation Relationship:** While both statements are true, Statement 2 does not explain Statement 1. The basicity of Na₂S does not provide a reason for H₂S being a weak diprotic acid. ### Conclusion - Both statements are true, but Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1. Therefore, the correct answer is **Option B**: Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1. ---
