At \(T(\mathrm{~K})\), if the ionisation constant of ammonia in solution is \(2.5 \times 10^{-5}\), the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of \(0.01 \mathrm{M}\) ammonia solution and the ionisation constant of its conjugate acid respectively at that temperature are \((\log 2=0.30)\)

  1. A \(10.7,4.0 \times 10^{-8}\)
  2. B \(10.7,4.0 \times 10^{-10}\)
  3. C \(3.3,4.0 \times 10^{-8}\)
  4. D \(3.3,4.0 \times 10^{-10}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(10.7,4.0 \times 10^{-10}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(K_a \times K_b=K_w=10^{-14}\) (at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)) where, \(K_a=\) ionisation constant for acid \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_4^{+}\right)\) and \(K_b=\) ionisation constant for base \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)\) \(=2.5 \times 10^{-5}\) i.e.…
