Statement $\mathbf{A}: \mathrm{pH}$ of buffer increases with increasing temperature. Statement B : The value of $K_W$ of water decreases with decreasing temperature.
  1. $\mathrm{A}$ is correct, but $\mathrm{B}$ is wrong.
  2. Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ are correct
  3. Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ are wrong
  4. $\mathrm{A}$ is wrong but $\mathrm{B}$ is correct

Solution

Dissociation of electrolytes increases with increase in temperature: So, $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{w}}=\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}ight]\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}ight]$also increases. $\therefore \quad$ pH of the buffer solution decreases.
