Q40 / 180 · AIIMS 2007 · Chemistry

The \(\mathrm{pH}\) of the solution obtained on neutralisation of \(40 \mathrm{~mL~} 0.1 \mathrm{~M~} \mathrm{NaOH}\) with \(40 \mathrm{~mL~} 0.1 \mathrm{~M~} \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\) is

  • A
    7
  • Correct answer
    B
    8
  • C
    6
  • D
    3 .

Solution

\(\mathrm{NaOH}+\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\) forms \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa}\) which gives basic solution with \(\mathrm{pH} > 7\).

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
