AIIMS 2004 Chemistry pH Calculations MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

What is the pH of 0.01 M glycine solution? For glycine, Kₐ₁ = 4.5 × 10⁻³ and Kₐ₂ = 1.7 × 10⁻¹⁰ at 298 K?

A

3.0

B

10.0

C

6.1

D

7.2

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

K = Kc × K2q = 4.5×10–3×1.7×10–10 = 7.65×10–13, [H+] = √KcC = √7.65×10–13×0.01 = √7.65×10–15 = 0.87×10–7, pH = – log 0.87 × 10–7 = 7 – 0.93 = 6.07.
