JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 3rd April Evening Shift - No. 19)

40 mL of a mixture of $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}$ and HCl (aqueous solution) is titrated against 0.1 M NaOH solution conductometrically. Which of the following statement is correct?

JEE Main 2025 (Online) 3rd April Evening Shift Chemistry - Ionic Equilibrium Question 1 English
The concentration of $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}$ in the original mixture is 0.005 M
The concentration of HCl in the original mixture is 0.005 M
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}$ is neutralised first followed by neutralisation of HCl
Point ' C ' indicates the complete neutralisation of HCl

Explanation

For HCl:

$ \text{Moles of HCl} = \text{Moles of NaOH used} $

$ M \times 40 = 0.1 \times 2 $

$ M = 0.005 $

For $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}$:

$ \text{Moles of } \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH} = \text{Moles of NaOH used} $

$ M \times 40 = 0.1 \times 3 $

$ M = 0.0075 $

Since HCl is a strong acid, it is neutralized first.
