JEE Main 3 September 2020, Shift 2, Chemistry Q27

Question 27 of 75 in this shift, Chemistry question 2 of 25.

100 mL of 0.1 M HCl\mathrm{HCl} is taken in a beaker and to it 100 mL of 0.1 M NaOH\mathrm{NaOH} is added in steps of 2 mL and the pH is continuously measured. Which of the following graphs correctly depicts the change in pH ?

The figure, in words

All four options are graphs with y-axis pH and x-axis labelled 'vol. of NaOH' with an arrow below. A dashed horizontal line marks 7 on the pH axis in each.
  1. (1)[figure: graph of pH vs vol. of NaOH, S-shaped curve rising from below the dashed pH 7 line to above it, crossing it in the steep part]Official answer
  2. (2)[figure: graph of pH vs vol. of NaOH, S-shaped curve rising and levelling off at about the dashed line marked 7]
  3. (3)[figure: graph of pH vs vol. of NaOH, straight line rising and crossing the dashed pH 7 line]
  4. (4)[figure: graph of pH vs vol. of NaOH, curve starting at the dashed line marked 7 and falling to a lower level where it flattens]
