MHT CET2009ChemistryIonic Equilibrium
The degree of dissociation of a 0.01 M weak acid is 10⁻³ . Its pOH is
Options
- A5
- B3
- C9
- D11
Correct answer
C. 9
Step-by-step solution
[ H ⁺ ]= K_ a C =139 Or = ² C² [ K_ a = ² C ] aligned =& (10⁻³ )² (0.01)² =& 10⁻⁵ pH =- [ H ⁺ ] &=- 10⁻⁵ &=5 aligned pOH =14-5=9
