    A 0.1 aqueous solution of a weak acid is 2% ionised. If the ionic product of water is \[1\times {{10}^{-4}}.\] The \[[O{{H}^{-}}]\] is:

    A)  \[5\times {{10}^{-12}}\text{M}\]                            

    B)  \[2\times {{10}^{-3}}\text{M}\]

    C)  \[1\times {{10}^{-14}}\text{M}\]                            

    D)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Since, it is a weak acid, the equation to  calculate \[[{{H}^{+}}]\]is \[C\times \alpha \]                                          (\[\alpha =%\]of ionisation) \[=0.1\times 0.02=2\times {{10}^{-3}}\text{M}\] \[{{K}_{w}}=[{{H}^{+}}][O{{H}^{-}}]\] \[[O{{H}^{-}}]=\frac{{{K}_{w}}}{[{{H}^{+}}]}=\frac{1\times {{10}^{-14}}}{2\times {{10}^{-3}}}=0.5\times {{10}^{-12}}\,M\]
