At 25 , the dissociation constant of a base, BOH, is 1.0 10-12. The concentration of hydroxyl ions in 0.01 M aqueous solution of the base would be

1. 1.0 10-5 mol L-1

H2S gas when passed through a solution of cations containing HCl precipitates the cations of second group of qualitative analysis but not those belonging to the fourth group. It is because

1. presence of HCl decreases the sulphide ion concentration
2. solubility product of group II sulphides is more than that of group IV sulphides
3. presence of HCl increases the sulphide ion concentration
4. sulphides of group IV cations are unstable in HCl.

4. 4 10-4

The rapid change of pH near the stoichiometric point of an acid-base titration is the basis of indicator detection. pH of the solution is related to ratio of the concentrations of the conjugate acid (HIn) and base (In-) forms of the indicator by the expression

1. [In-][HIn] = pKIn - pH
2. [HIn][In-] = pKIn - pH
3. [HIn][In-] = pH - pKIn
4. [In-][HIn] = pH - pKIn
