AIPMT PRELIMS 2005 Chemistry pH and Basicity MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11

What is the correct relationship between the pHs of isomolar solutions of sodium oxide (pH₁), sodium sulphide (pH₂), sodium selenide (pH₃) and sodium telluride (pH₄)?

A

pH₁ > pH₂ ≈ pH₃ > pH₄

B

pH₁ < pH₂ < pH₃ < pH₄

C

pH₁ ≈ pH₂ < pH₃ ≈ pH₄

D

pH₁ > pH₂ > pH₃ > pH₄

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The basicity decreases down the group, so the pH decreases from sodium oxide to sodium telluride.
