Equilibrium Question 305

Question: For a weak acid $ HA $ with dissociation constant $ {10^{-9}},pOH $ of its 0.1 M solution is [CBSE PMT 1989]

Options:

A) 9

B) 3

C) 11

D) 10

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Dissociation constant of $ HA={10^{-9}} $

$ HA $ ⇌ $ {H^{+}}+{A^{-}} $

$ [{H^{+}}]=\sqrt{\frac{K_{a}}{C}} $

$ =\sqrt{\frac{{10^{-9}}}{0.1}} $ ; $ [{H^{+}}]={10^{-4}} $

$ \therefore ,pH=4 $

$ \because ,pH+pOH=14 $

$ pOH=14-pH $

$ =14-4 $ ; $ pOH=10 $
