The ionization constant of aniline and acetic acid and water at 25^(0)C are respectively 3.83 xx 10^(-10), 1.75 xx 10^(-5) and 1 xx 10^(-14). Calculate the percentage hydrolysis of aniline acetate in a decinormal solution

Answer»

`54.95`
`9.54`
`4.6`
`42.3454`

Solution :Aniline acetate issalt of weak acid and weak base, its degree of hydrolysis may be calculated USING following formula
`alpha = sqrt((K_(H))) = sqrt(((K_(W))/(K_(a) xx K_(b))))"......"(i)`
Where `K_(q) = 10^(-14)`
`K_(a) = 1.75 xx 10^(-5), K_(b) = 3.83 xx 10^(-10)`
`alpha = sqrt(((10^(-14))/(1.75 xx 10^(-5) xx 3.83 xx 10^(-10)))) = 1.22`
Which is not possible because, degree of of hydrolysis may be notbe greater than `1`.
Thus, we have no avoid the APPROXIMATION.
`(alpha)/(1-alpha) = sqrt((K_(h))) = 1.22 , alpha = (1.22)/(2.22) = 0.5495`
`%` hydrolysis `= alpha ' 100`
`= 0.5495 xx 100 = 54.95%`
