@bhaiyya......."The pH of a 0.01 M solution of its sodium salt is " not 0.001
I got pH = 4
Ka = 10-4
c = 0.01 M
α = 0.01
[H+] = 10-4
pH = 4
Ph of salt of weak acid and strong base
pH=7+.5[pka+log c]
so in this case pKa=4 log c= log .01=-2
pH= 7 + .5{4-2}=7+1=8
friends u r to consider H+ coming from water also...an acid with pH 8/////////////
never happen.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., simple ionic concept,.,consult books
nishant bhaiya since when did you start asking chemistry questions??:P
