The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the percentage dissociation of a monoacidic base (BOH) in aqueous solution, we need to analyze each of the provided expressions and determine which one is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Dissociation of BOH:** - The dissociation of a monoacidic base (BOH) can be represented as: \[ BOH \rightleftharpoons B^+ + OH^- \] - Let the initial concentration of BOH be \( C \) and let \( \alpha \) be the degree of dissociation. 2. **Setting Up the Equilibrium Expression:** - At equilibrium, the concentrations will be: - \( [B^+] = C \alpha \) - \( [OH^-] = C \alpha \) - \( [BOH] = C(1 - \alpha) \) - The expression for the base dissociation constant \( K_b \) is: \[ K_b = \frac{[B^+][OH^-]}{[BOH]} = \frac{(C \alpha)(C \alpha)}{C(1 - \alpha)} = \frac{C \alpha^2}{1 - \alpha} \] 3. **Neglecting \( \alpha \):** - For appreciable concentrations, we can assume \( \alpha \) is small compared to 1, hence \( 1 - \alpha \approx 1 \): \[ K_b \approx C \alpha^2 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ \alpha \approx \sqrt{\frac{K_b}{C}} \] 4. **Calculating Percentage Dissociation:** - The percentage dissociation \( \% \) can be calculated as: \[ \% \text{ dissociation} = \alpha \times 100 = 100 \sqrt{\frac{K_b}{C}} \] - This matches option (a). 5. **Analyzing Other Options:** - **Option (b):** \[ \frac{1}{1 + 10^{(pK_b - pOH)}} \] - This expression is derived from the relationship between \( K_b \), \( pK_b \), and \( pOH \). It is correct. - **Option (c):** \[ \frac{K_w[H^+]}{K_b + K_w} \] - This expression does not directly relate to the percentage dissociation derived from the equilibrium constant and is not a standard expression for \( \alpha \). Thus, it is likely incorrect. - **Option (d):** \[ \frac{K_b}{K_b + [OH^-]} \] - This expression can be derived from the equilibrium expressions and is also correct. 6. **Conclusion:** - After analyzing all options, we find that option (c) is the incorrect expression for the percentage dissociation of a monoacidic base in aqueous solution. ### Final Answer: The expression for `%` dissociation of a monoacidic base (BOH) that is not correct is: **(c) \(\frac{K_w[H^+]}{K_b + K_w}\)**
