Solution

The correct option is B 0.01
$N a O C N + H_{2} O ⇌ N a O H + H C N$
$H O C N ⇌ H^{+} + O C N^{-}$
From hydrolysis of salt, we know,
$K_{h} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a}}$ and
$D e g r e e o f h y d r o l y s i s, α = \sqrt{(\frac{K_{h}}{C})} = \frac{\sqrt{K_{w}}}{\sqrt{(K_{a} . C)}}$
$= \frac{\sqrt{(10^{- 14})}}{\sqrt{(3.33 \times 10^{- 4} \times 0.003)}}$
$D e g r e e o f h y d r o l y s i s = 10^{- 4}$
$% of hydrolysis$ $= 10^{- 4} \times 100 = 10^{- 2}$
