    A weak acid is 0.1% ionised in 0.1 M solution. Its pH is:

    A)  2               

    B)  3

    C)  4                

    D)  1

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Use the following formula to calculate pH of solution. \[pH=-\log \,[{{H}^{+}}]\] For weak acid \[[{{H}^{+}}]=C\alpha \] Given, C = concentration = 0.1 M \[\alpha =\] degree of dissociation \[=0.1%=0.001\] \[\therefore \] \[[{{H}^{+}}]=C\alpha =0.1\times 0.001=1\times {{10}^{-4}}\] \[pH=-\log [{{H}^{+}}]\] \[=-\log (1\times {{10}^{-4}})=4\]
