The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$pH$ of the solution $=5$ $\left[ H ^{+}\right]=10^{-5} M$ On decreasing the $H ^{+}$ion concentration $100$ times the $\left[ H ^{+}\right]$becomes $=\frac{10^{-5}}{100}=10^{-7} M$ Now $pH =7$, which signifies a neutral solution.

Acids and Bases

$P = - \frac{xx^T}{x^Tx}$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 ReactionAcidBases
Reaction with Metals

Acid + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen gas (H2)

E.g.,

Zn(s)+ dil. H2SO4 → ZnSO(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.
