Solution
The correct option is D 0.523 Since aniline and acetic acid are both weak electrolytes.
So, Kh=KwKa×KbKh=10−141.8×10−5×4.6×10−10=1.2
if we see, KhC=1.20.1=12
Since, KhC<100,
So we cannot take the approximation 1−h≈1 and we have to solve quadratic, Kh=h2(1−h)2√Kh=h1−h√1.2=h1−h1.096=h1−hh=1.0962.096=0.523
