hard

The percentage of pyridine $(C_5H_5N)$ that forms pyridinium ion $(C_5H_5N^+H)$ in a $0.10\, M$ aqueous pyridine solution ($K_b$ for $C_5H_5N = 1.7 \times 10^{-9}$) is

A

$0.0060 \%$

B

$0.013\%$

C

$0.77\%$

D

$1.6\%$

(NEET-2016)

Solution

$\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{N}+\mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{N}^{+} \mathrm{H}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}$

$\alpha=\sqrt{\frac{K_{b}}{c}}=\sqrt{\frac{1.7 \times 10^{-9}}{0.1}}=\sqrt{1.7 \times 10^{-8}}$

$\% a=1.3 \times 10^{-4} \times 100$

$=1.3 \times 10^{-2}=0.013$
