Tritium, T(an isotope of H) combines with fluorine to form weak acid, TF, which ionizes to give T'. Tritium is radioactive and is a beta -emitter. A freshly prepared aqueous solution of TF has pT (equialent of pH) of 1.5 and freezes at -0.372^(@)C . If 600mL of freeshly prepared solution were allowed to stad for 24.8 years, calculate (i) ionization constant of TF (ii) Number of beta- particles emitted. (Given K_(f) for water = 1.86 kg mol K^(-1) t_(1//2) for tritium = 12.4 years).
