Sulphurous acid \(\left( H _{2} SO _{3}\right)\) has \(Ka _{1}=1.7 \times 10^{-2}\) and \(Ka _{2}=6.4 \times 10^{-8} .\) The \(pH\) of \(0.588 \,M\, H _{2} SO _{3}\) is ..... . (Round off to the Nearest Integer)

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(1\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(H _{2} SO _{3}\) [Dibasic acid] \(c=0.588 \,M\) \(\Rightarrow \quad pH\) of solution \(P\) due to First dissociation only since \(K _{ a },>> Ka _{2}\) \(\Rightarrow\) First dissociation of \(H _{2} SO _{3}\)…
