Verified By Collegedunia

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$NaOH(aq)$ is strong base solution
So, $[OH^-] = N = 10^{-2}N$
$pOH = -log[OH^-] = -log10^{-2} = 2$
$pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2 $
$pH = 12$

Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is $M = 5$ cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

A container has two chambers of volumes $V_1 = 2$ litres and $V_2 = 3$ litres separated by a partition made of a thermal insulator. The chambers contain $n_1 = 2$ moles and $n_2 = 3$ moles of ideal gas at pressures $p_1 = 1$ atm and $p_2 = 2$ atm, respectively. When the partition is removed, the mixture attains an equilibrium pressure of :

Acids and Bases

Acid is any hydrogen-containing substance that is capable of donating a proton (hydrogen ion) to another substance. Base is an ion or molecule capable of accepting a hydrogen ion from acid.

Chemical Properties of Acids and Bases

Type of Reaction	Acid	Bases
Reaction with Metals	Acid + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen gas (H₂) E.g., Zn(s)+ dil. H₂SO₄ → ZnSO₄(Zinc Sulphate) + H₂	Base + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen gas (H₂) E.g., 2NaOH +Zn → Na2ZnO₂ (Sodium zincate) + H₂
Reaction with hydrogen carbonates (bicarbonate) and carbonates	Metal carbonate/Metal hydrogen carbonate + Acid → Salt + Carbon dioxide + Water E.g., HCl+NaOH → NaCl+ H₂O 2. Na₂CO₃+ 2 HCl(aq) →2NaCl(aq)+ H₂O(l) + CO₂(g) 3. Na₂CO₃+ 2H₂SO₄(aq) →2Na₂SO₄(aq)+ H₂O(l) + CO₂(g) 4. NaHCO₃+ HCl → NaCl+ H₂O+ CO₂	Base+ Carbonate/ bicarbonate → No reaction
Neutralisation Reaction	Base + Acid → Salt + Water E.g., NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)	Base + Acid → Salt + Water E.g., CaO+ HCl (l) → CaCl₂ (aq)+ H₂O (l)
Reaction with Oxides	Metal oxide + Acid → Salt + Water E.g., CaO+ HCl (l) → CaCl₂ (aq)+ H₂O (l)	Non- Metallic oxide + Base → Salt + Water E.g., Ca(OH)₂+ CO₂ → CaCO₃+ H₂O
Dissolution in Water	Acid gives H+ ions in water. E.g., HCl → H+ + Cl- HCl + H₂O → H₃O+ + Cl–	Base gives OH- ions in water.
