The pH of 0.1 M solution of monobasic acid is 2.34 . Calculate the degree of dissociation of the acid.
Options
- A3.1 10⁻²
- B4.5 10⁻²
- C2.18 10⁻²
- D2.5 10⁻³
Correct answer
B. 4.5 10⁻²
Step-by-step solution
pH =2.34, c =0.1 M (i) pH =- ₁₀ [ H ⁺ ] gathered ₁₀ [ H ⁺ ]=- pH =-2.34 =-2-0.34-1+1 =-3+0.66= 3 .66 gathered [ H ⁺ ]= antilog 3 .66 =4.571 10⁻³ ~mol dm ⁻³ (ii) [ H ⁺ ]= c = [ H ⁺ ] c = 4.571 10⁻³ 0.1 =4.571 10⁻²
