Solution

The correct option is D 5.2
we know $α = \sqrt{\frac{K_{a}}{c}} = \sqrt{\frac{4.8 \times 10^{- 11}}{1}} = 7 \times 10^{- 6}$
Here, $α << 1$
$p H = - l o g [\sqrt{K_{a} C}]$
$\Rightarrow p H = - l o g (\sqrt{4.8 \times 10^{- 11} \times 1}$ $\Rightarrow p H = - l o g (7 \times 10^{- 6})$
$\Rightarrow p H = - l o g 7 + 6$
$\Rightarrow p H = - 0.8 + 6 \Rightarrow p H = 5.2$
