Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): An aqueous solution of ammonium carbonate is basic.
Reason (R):

The acidic or basic nature of a salt solution of a salt of a weak acid and a weak base depends on the Ka and Kb values of the acid and the base forming it.

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false but (R) is true.

The pH of neutral water at 25°C is 7.0. As the temperature increases, ionisation of water increases. However, the concentration of H+ ions and OH- ions is equal. The pH of pure water at 60°C is:

1. Equal to 7.0 2. Greater than 7.0
3. Less than 7.0 4. Equal to zero

The ionisation constant of an acid, Ka , is the measure of the strength of an acid. The Ka values of acetic acid, hypochlorous acid and formic acid are 1.74×10-5, 3.0×10-8 and 1.8×10-4 , respectively. The  correct order of pH value of 0.1 mol dm-3 solutions of these acids is -

1. Acetic acid > hypochlorous acid > formic acid

2. Hypochlorous acid < acetic acid > formic acid

3. Formic acid > hypochlorous acid > acetic acid

4. Formic acid < acetic acid < hypochlorous acid
