x moles of an organic non-volatile monobasic acid were taken and dissolved in water. The change in boiling point △Tb. pH of the solution will be
−log10 [△TbKb−x]
△Tb=iKbx⇒△TbKbx=i (1)
Now consider the dissociation of HA
HA ⇌ H+ + A−Initial: x 0 0final: x(1−α) xα xα
∴i=x(1−α)+xα+xαx=1+α⇒α=i−1 (2)pH=−log10 [xα]=−log10 [x(i−1)]=−log10 [x(△TbKbx−1)]=−log10 [△TbKb−1]
