The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion-reasoning question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reasoning (R) provided. ### Assertion (A): **"H₃O⁺ ion from water is also taken into consideration while calculating the pH of very dilute solution (say concentration = 10^(-9) M) of acid."** ### Reasoning (R): **"[H₃O⁺] from water is only available in very dilute solution of acid."** ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding pH Calculation**: - The pH of a solution is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{pH} = -\log[H^+] \] - In very dilute solutions, the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) from the acid may be comparable to the concentration of H⁺ ions from the self-ionization of water. 2. **Self-Ionization of Water**: - Water undergoes self-ionization: \[ 2H_2O \rightleftharpoons H_3O^+ + OH^- \] - The ion product of water (K_w) at 25°C is: \[ K_w = [H_3O^+][OH^-] = 10^{-14} \] - In pure water, the concentration of H₃O⁺ is: \[ [H_3O^+] = [OH^-] = 10^{-7} \, \text{M} \] 3. **Analyzing the Given Concentration**: - For a very dilute acid solution (e.g., 10^(-9) M), the contribution of H₃O⁺ from the acid is: \[ [H_3O^+] = 10^{-9} \, \text{M} \] - However, the contribution from water (self-ionization) is: \[ [H_3O^+] = 10^{-7} \, \text{M} \] 4. **Total H₃O⁺ Concentration**: - When calculating the total concentration of H₃O⁺ in the solution, we must consider both contributions: \[ [H_3O^+]_{\text{total}} = [H_3O^+]_{\text{acid}} + [H_3O^+]_{\text{water}} = 10^{-9} + 10^{-7} \] - Since \(10^{-7} \, \text{M}\) is significantly larger than \(10^{-9} \, \text{M}\), we cannot neglect the contribution from water. 5. **Calculating pH**: - Thus, the effective concentration of H₃O⁺ in the solution is approximately \(10^{-7} \, \text{M}\). - Therefore, the pH would be: \[ \text{pH} = -\log(10^{-7}) = 7 \] 6. **Conclusion on Assertion**: - The assertion is **true** because the H₃O⁺ from water must be considered in very dilute solutions. 7. **Evaluating the Reasoning**: - The reasoning states that H₃O⁺ from water is only available in very dilute solutions. This is **false** because H₃O⁺ from water is always present, regardless of the solution's dilution; it just becomes negligible in more concentrated solutions. ### Final Answer: - Assertion (A) is **true**. - Reasoning (R) is **false**. - Therefore, the correct option is: **Assertion is true, but Reason is false.**
