Solution

The correct option is C 99%
$p H = p K_{a} + l o g \frac{s a l t}{a c i d}$
$6.74 = 4.74 + l o g \frac{s a l t}{a c i d}$
$∴ l o g \frac{s a l t}{a c i d} = 2$ , Hence
$[C H_{3} C O O^{-}] = 100 [C H_{3} C O O H]$
$c α = 100 (c - c α)$
$α = \frac{100}{101} = 0.99$
the percentage dissociation of $C H_{3} C O O H$ is 99%
