Solution

(a) H2SO4   +  2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

400×.1=40      400×.1=40

∴[H+]=20×2800=120⇒pH=−log(120)

∴ pH = 1.3 so (a) is correct

(b) log(Kw2Kw1)=ΔH2.303R[1T1−1T2]

So ionic product of water is temp. dependent hence (b) is correct.

(c) Ka = 10–5, pH = 5 ⇒ [H+] = 10–5

Ka=cα2(1−α)⇒Ka=[H+].α(1−α)

∴  10−5=10−5.α(1−α)⇒1−α=α⇒α=12=50%

so (c) is correct.

(d) Le-chatelier’s principle is applicable to common-ion effect so option (d) is wrong
