Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2.3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { Given, ionisation constant }\left(K_a\right)=2.5 \times 10^{-5} \\ & \text { and molarity }(c)=1.0 \mathrm{M} \\ & \because K_a=C \alpha^2 \\ & \qquad \begin{aligned} \therefore & =\sqrt{\frac{K_a}{C}}=\sqrt{\frac{2.5 \times 10^{-5}}{1}} \\ & =0.5…
