Step-by-Step Verified Solution
C 5 H 5 N + H 2 O _ C 5 H 5 N + H + OH �
So, the amount of pyridine that forms pyridinium ion is _ .
Now, _ = K b c o n c . o f p y r i d i n e
= 1.7 _ 10 9 0.10
= 1.30 _ 10 -4
So, percentage of pyridine that forms pyridinium
ion
= 1.30 _ 10 �4 _ 100
= 1.30 _ 10 �2 = 0.013%
