Dear Student,

Degree of dissociation (α) = λmcλm=10200=0.05and, for weak acidsKa=21-α = 0.1×(0.05)21-0.05=0.000250.95=2.63×10-4Now, HA  H+ + A-Ka=[H+][A-][HA]or Ka=[H+]2[HA]or, [H+]2= Ka[HA]Taking log both sides, log [H+]2= log Ka[HA]or, 2log[H+]=log Ka+log [HA]or, log[H+]=log Ka+log [HA]2or, -log [H+] =log [HA]-log Ka2or, pH=log (0.1)-log (2.63×10-4)2=-1-0.41+42=1.3Hence, correct answer is (1)
