Question

When 100 mL of 1.0 M HCl was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in an insulated beaker at constant pressure, a temperature increase of 5.7C was measured for the beaker and its contents (Expt 1). Because the enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid with a strong base is a constant (-57.0 kJ mol1), this experiment could be used to measure the calorimeter constant. In a second experiment (Expt 2), 100 mL of 2.0 M acetic acid (Ka=2.0×105) was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH (under identical conditions to Expt 1) where a temperature rise of 5.6C was measured.
(Consider heat capacity of all solutions as 4.2 Jg1K1 and density of all solutions as 1.0 gmL1)

The pH of the solution after Expt. 2 is:

A
2.8

Solution

The correct option is B 4.7
Final solution contain 0.1 mole of CH3COOH and CH3COONa each.
Hence, it is a buffer solution.
pH=pKa+log[CH3COO][CH3COOH]
=5log 2+log0.10.1=4.7
