Options

  1. A77
  2. B66
  3. C9.59.5
  4. D8.878.87

Correct answer

D. 8.878.87

Step-by-step solution

Sodium formate is present at the equivalence point. It is the salt of weak acid ++ strong base. So, final solution will be basic in nature. As we know pH=7+pKa2+log⁡C2\mathrm{pH}=7+\frac{\mathrm{p} K_a}{2}+\frac{\log C}{2} where, CC is concentration of salt. Total volume of solution =100+100=200mL=100+100=200 \mathrm{ mL} Concentration of salt (C)=2×100200=1MpH=7+3.742+log⁡[1]2pH=7+1.87+0pH=8.87(C)=2 \times \frac{100}{200}=1 \mathrm{M}\mathrm{pH}=7+\frac{3.74}{2}+\frac{\log [1]}{2}\mathrm{pH}=7+1.87+0\mathrm{pH}=8.87
