Question

When 0.1 mol arsenic acids (H3AsO4) is dissolved in 1L buffer solution of pH = 8, which of the following hold good? For arsenic acid K1 = 2.5 × 10-4,  K2 = 5 × 10-8, K3 = 2 × 10-13. [′<<′ sign denotes that the high concentration is at least more than 100 times the lower one]

Options

A.[H3AsO4] << [H2AsO4-]
B.[H2AsO4-] << [HAsO42-]
C.[HAsO42-] << [H2AsO4-]
D.[AsO43-] << [HAsO42-]

Solution

(A)     ∴  [H3AsO4] << [H3AsO4-].
(B)
(C)     ∴ [AsO43-] << [HAsO42-].
