    The concentration of \[[{{H}^{+}}]\] and concentration of \[[O{{H}^{-}}]\] of a 0.1 aqueous solution of 2% ionised weak acid is: [Ionic product of water =1 x 10~14]

    A)  \[2\times {{10}^{-3}}M\] and \[5\times {{10}^{-12}}M\]

    B)  \[1\times {{10}^{3}}M\] and \[3\times {{10}^{-11}}M\]

    C)  \[0.02\times {{10}^{-3}}M\] and \[5\times {{10}^{-11}}M\]

    D)  \[3\times {{10}^{-2}}M\] and \[4\times {{10}^{-13}}M\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Use the following formula to find concentration of \[O{{H}^{-}}\] ions. \[[{{H}^{+}}]=C\alpha \] \[[O{{H}^{-}}]=\frac{ionic\text{ }product\text{ }of\text{ }water}{[{{H}^{+}}]}\] Given, \[C=0.1\] \[\alpha =2%=\frac{2}{100}=0.02\] \[[{{H}^{+}}]=C\alpha \] \[=0.1\times 0.01\] \[=2\times {{10}^{-3}}\] \[[O{{H}^{-}}]=\frac{1\times {{10}^{-14}}}{2\times {{10}^{-3}}}\] \[=5\times {{10}^{-12}}\]
