JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Equilibrium / साम्यावस्था Question Bank Critical Thinking

  • question_answer
    In the equilibrium \[{{A}^{-}}+{{H}_{2}}O\]⇌\[HA+O{{H}^{-}}\] \[({{K}_{a}}=1.0\times {{10}^{-5}})\]. The degree of hydrolysis of 0.001 M solution of the salt is           [AMU 1999]

    A)                 \[{{10}^{-3}}\]  

    B)                 \[{{10}^{-4}}\]

    C)                 \[{{10}^{-5}}\]  

    D)                 \[{{10}^{-6}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[{{K}_{a}}=1.0\times {{10}^{-5}}\]                    \[{{K}_{h}}=\text{hydrolysis}\,\,\text{constant}\]                    \[{{K}_{h}}=\frac{{{K}_{w}}}{{{K}_{a}}}=\frac{{{10}^{-14}}}{{{10}^{-5}}}={{10}^{-9}}\]                    degree of hydrolysis (h ) =\[\sqrt{\frac{{{K}_{h}}}{C}}\]                                 \[=\sqrt{\frac{{{10}^{-9}}}{0.001}}\] =\[\sqrt{{{10}^{-6}}}\] =\[{{10}^{-3}}\];         \[h={{10}^{-3}}\]
