Question

Acetic acid and $a q . N H_{3}$ are weak monobasic acid and weak monoacidic base respectively and $K_{a}$ of acetic acid is equal to $K_{b}$ of $a q . N H_{3}$ . Which of the following statements are incorrect?

The mixing of

C H_{3} C O O H

and

N H_{3}

in any proportion would result in neutral solution having

p H = 7

Solution

The correct options are
C If acetic acid is exactly half neutralised by $N a O H$ then $p H$ of resulting solution is equal to $p K_{b}$
D If acetic acid is exactly neutralised by $a q . N H_{3}$ then $p H$ of resulting solution is equal to $1 / 2 p K_{w}$
