The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements are correct, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A **Statement:** The pH of a 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ M HCl solution is 8. - **Solution:** - The concentration of H⁺ ions in the solution is given as 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ M. - To find the pH, we use the formula: \[ \text{pH} = -\log[\text{H}^+] \] - Substituting the value: \[ \text{pH} = -\log(1.0 \times 10^{-8}) = 8 \] - However, HCl is a strong acid, and the pH of strong acids should be less than 7. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. ### Step 2: Analyze Option B **Statement:** The conjugate base of H₂PO₄⁻ is HPO₄²⁻. - **Solution:** - The conjugate base is formed by removing one H⁺ ion from the acid. - Starting with H₂PO₄⁻: \[ \text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^- \rightarrow \text{HPO}_4^{2-} + \text{H}^+ \] - This confirms that the conjugate base of H₂PO₄⁻ is indeed HPO₄²⁻. Thus, this statement is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze Option C **Statement:** The autoprotolysis constant of water increases with temperature. - **Solution:** - The autoprotolysis of water refers to the self-ionization of water: \[ 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightleftharpoons \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ + \text{OH}^- \] - As temperature increases, the ionization of water increases, leading to a higher concentration of H₃O⁺ and OH⁻ ions. - Therefore, the autoprotolysis constant (Kw) increases with temperature. This statement is correct. ### Step 4: Analyze Option D **Statement:** When a solution of weak monoprotic acid is titrated against a strong base at half-neutralization point, pH is equal to half pKa. - **Solution:** - At the half-neutralization point, the concentration of the weak acid and its conjugate base are equal. According to the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: \[ \text{pH} = \text{pKa} + \log\left(\frac{[\text{A}^-]}{[\text{HA}]}\right) \] - At half-neutralization, \([\text{A}^-] = [\text{HA}]\), thus: \[ \text{pH} = \text{pKa} \] - Therefore, the statement that pH is equal to half pKa is incorrect. This statement is wrong. ### Conclusion The correct statements are: - Option B: The conjugate base of H₂PO₄⁻ is HPO₄²⁻. - Option C: The autoprotolysis constant of water increases with temperature. ### Final Answer **Correct Options:** B and C. ---

To determine which of the statements are correct, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A **Statement:** The pH of a 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ M HCl solution is 8. - **Solution:** - The concentration of H⁺ ions in the solution is given as 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ M. - To find the pH, we use the formula: ...
