The percentage of pyridine `(C_(2)H_(5)N)` that forms pyridinium ion `(C_(2)H_(5)N^(+)H)` in a 0.10 M aqueous pyridine solution (`K_(b)` for `C_(2)H_(5)N = 1.7 xx 10^(-9)`) isA. `1.6%`B. `0.0060%`C. `0.013%`D. `0.77%`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`C_(5)H_(5)N + H_(2)O = C_(5)H_(5)N^(+)H + OH^(-)`
0.1
`alpha = sqrt((K_(b))/(c)) = sqrt((1.7 xx 10^(-9))/(0.1)) = sqrt(1.7 xx 10^(-8)) = 1.3 xx 10^(-4)`
`% prop = 1.3 xx 10^(-4) xx 100`
`= 1.3 xx 10^(-2) = 0.013`.
