A solution of 0.1 M weak base (B) is titrated with 0.1 M of a strong acid (HA). The variation of pH of the solution with the volume of HA added is shown in the figure below. What is the pK_b of the base? The neutralisation reaction is given by

$$B + HA\buildrel {} \over \longrightarrow B{H^ + } + {A^ - }$$

An acidified solution of 0.05 M Zn²⁺ is saturated with 0.1 M H₂S. What is the minimum molar concentration (M) of H⁺ required to prevent the precipitation of ZnS?

Use K_sp(ZnS) = 1.25 $$ \times $$ 10^$$-$$22 and overall dissociation constant of

H₂S, K_net = K₁K₂ = 1 $$ \times $$ 10^-21.

The solubility of a salt of weak acid $$(AB)$$ at $$pH\,$$ $$3$$ is $$Y \times {10^{ - 3}}$$ $$mol\,{L^{ - 1}}.$$ The value of $$Y$$ is ________________.

(Given that the value of solubility product of $$AB$$ $$\left( {{K_{sp}}} \right) = 2 \times {10^{ - 10}}$$ and the value of ionization constant of $$HB$$ $$\left( {{K_a}} \right) = 1 \times {10^{ - 8}}$$)

In 1 L saturated solution of AgCl [K_sp(AgCl) = 1.6 $$\times$$ 10^-10], 0.1 mol of CuCl [K_sp(CuCl) = 1.0 $$\times$$ 10^-6] is added. The resultant concentration of Ag⁺ in the solution is 1.6 $$\times$$ 10^-x. The value of "x" is
