Explanation / Answer

9)sodium error, it happens at higher alkaline pH where the Na+concentration is very higher than the H+ concentration.at this higher Na+concentration the pH meter will respond to the Na+ concentration instead of H+ and gives a very low pH. Ans:b

10)(a) dilution of a buffer does not reults in change in pH beacuse ph=-log[H+], here on diluting the buffer results in dissociation of its acid at the same time its conjugate base present in the buffer gets associated.

11)(b)pH is defined as the -log of free H+ concentration. When temperature increses the bonds holding the H+ will break and more H+ will get free. So pH decreases.
