The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate the truthfulness of three statements regarding chemical equilibrium, particularly concerning water's autoprotolysis constant, the titration of weak acids, and the pH of a dilute HCl solution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Statement 1: Autoprotolysis constant of water increases with the increase in temperature.** 1. **Understanding Autoprotolysis of Water:** - Autoprotolysis of water refers to the self-ionization of water, which can be represented as: \[ 2H_2O \rightleftharpoons H_3O^+ + OH^- \] - The equilibrium constant for this reaction is known as the autoprotolysis constant, denoted as \( K_w \). 2. **Effect of Temperature on \( K_w \):** - The reaction is endothermic, meaning it absorbs heat. - According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to favor the endothermic reaction, resulting in an increase in the concentrations of \( H_3O^+ \) and \( OH^- \). 3. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, as temperature increases, \( K_w \) increases. - **Verdict:** **True** --- **Statement 2: When a solution of a weak monobasic acid is titrated with a strong base at half neutralization point, \( pH = pK_a + 1 \).** 1. **Understanding Half Neutralization Point:** - At the half-neutralization point, half of the weak acid is converted to its conjugate base. - For a weak acid \( HA \) titrated with a strong base \( NaOH \): \[ HA + NaOH \rightarrow A^- + H_2O \] 2. **Using Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:** - The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is given by: \[ pH = pK_a + \log\left(\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}\right) \] - At half-neutralization, \([A^-] = [HA]\), thus: \[ \log\left(\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}\right) = \log(1) = 0 \] - Therefore, \( pH = pK_a \). 3. **Conclusion:** - The statement claims \( pH = pK_a + 1 \), which is incorrect. - **Verdict:** **False** --- **Statement 3: The pH of \( 10^{-8} \) m HCl is 8.** 1. **Understanding the pH of Strong Acids:** - HCl is a strong acid and completely dissociates in solution. - The concentration of \( H^+ \) ions from \( 10^{-8} \) m HCl is \( 10^{-8} \) m. 2. **Consideration of Water's Contribution:** - Pure water has a \( [H^+] \) concentration of \( 10^{-7} \) m. - Therefore, the total \( [H^+] \) in the solution becomes: \[ [H^+] = 10^{-8} + 10^{-7} = 1.1 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m} \] 3. **Calculating the pH:** - The pH is calculated as: \[ pH = -\log(1.1 \times 10^{-7}) \approx 6.96 \] - Thus, the pH cannot be 8. 4. **Conclusion:** - The statement that the pH of \( 10^{-8} \) m HCl is 8 is incorrect. - **Verdict:** **False** --- ### Final Evaluation of Statements: - Statement 1: **True** - Statement 2: **False** - Statement 3: **False** ### Correct Answer: **Option B: TFF (True, False, False)** ---
