Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4.47

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text S =\sqrt{\text K _{\text{sp}}\left(\frac{\left[\text{H} ^{+}\right]}{\text{K} _{\text a }}+1\right)}=\) \(\sqrt{2 \times 10^{-10}\left(\frac{10^{-3}}{10^{-8}}+1\right)}\) \(\simeq \sqrt{2 \times 10^{-5}}\)
\(=4.47 \times 10^{-3}\text M.\)
