  2. B \(1.66 \times 10^{-4}\)
  3. C \(1.66 \times 10^{-3}\)
  4. D \(1.66 \times 10^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1.66 \times 10^{-4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\%\) dissociation \(=4 \%\) degree of dissociation \((\alpha)=\frac{4}{100}=0.04\) For lactic acid \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{OH}) \mathrm{COOH} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{OH}) \mathrm{COO}^{-}+\mathrm{H}^{+}\) Initial concentration…
