The $pH$ of a $0.1\  M$ aqueous solution of a very weak acid $(HA)$ is $3$. What is its degree of dissociation ?......$\%$

A

$1$

B

$10$

C

$25$

D

None of these

Solution

Given:-

$\mathrm{pH}=3$

Concentration $\longrightarrow 0.1 \mathrm{M}$

Weak acid $\longrightarrow$ HA

$\mathrm{HA} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}^{\oplus}+\mathrm{A}^{\ominus}$

$\mathrm{C} \quad 0 \quad 0$

$\mathrm{C}(1-\alpha) \quad \mathrm{C} \alpha \quad \mathrm{C} \alpha$

$\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=\mathrm{C} \alpha$

$\Rightarrow-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=3$

$\Rightarrow\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=10^{-3}$

$\Rightarrow 10^{-3}=0.1 \times \alpha$

$\Rightarrow \alpha=10^{-2}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha=1 \%$
