MCQ
If very small amount of $HPh$ (phenolphthalein) added to $0.1\ M$ aqueous solution of $CH_3 COONa$. The fraction of indicator that exists in colourless form is Given

$[K_b\,(CH_3COO^-) =10^{-9},pK_a\,(HPh)=9.6,log\,2 =0.3]$

  • A
    $0.2$
  • $0.8$
  • C
    $0.5$
  • D
    $0.4$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$0.8$
b
${\text{pH}} = \frac{1}{2}({\text{pKw}} + {\text{pKa}} + \log \,{\text{C}})$

$ = \frac{1}{2}(14 + 5 - 1) = 9$

${\text{pH}} = {\text{pKa}} + \log \,\frac{{{\text{I}}{{\text{n}}^ - }}}{{{\text{HIn}}}}$

$\log \,\frac{{{\text{HIn}}}}{{{\text{I}}{{\text{n}}^ - }}} = 0.6 = 2 \times 0.3 = 2\,\log \,2$

$\frac{\mathrm{HIn}}{\mathrm{In}^{-}}=4, \mathrm{HIn}+\mathrm{In}^{-}=1.0, \mathrm{HIn}=0.80$
