Q15 / 102 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Ionic Equilibrium

For the indicator, HIn; the ratio  In - HIn  is 7.0 at pH of 4.3. K In for the indicator is

[ Given: log 7=0.845 and Antilog  ( −3.455 )=3.5× 10 −4 ]

  • Correct answer
    A
    3 . 5 × 1 0 - 4
  • B
    3 . 5 × 1 0 - 5
  • C
    3 . 5 × 1 0 - 2
  • D
    3 . 5 × 1 0 - 3

Solution

For weak organic acid indicators

pH= pK In +log In − HIn

4.3= pK In +log 7

pK In =4.3−0.845=3.455

pK In =− log 10 K In

K In =Antilog − pK In

K In = Antilog  −3.455

    =3.5×10−4

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
