A solution of (HA: ) is diluted to at 298 K. Use and . Which statements are correct?

  1. AThe degree of hydrolysis increases from to , i.e. it becomes 10 times larger.
  2. BThe pH decreases from to .
  3. C decreases 100-fold on dilution.
  4. D after dilution is (unchanged).

Answer: A, B

is constant. rises from to (factor 10). falls from to and the pH from to . depends only on temperature.
