On decreasing the $pH$ from $7$ to $2$,the solubility of a sparingly soluble salt $(MX)$ of a weak acid $(HX)$ increased from $10^{-4} \ mol \ L^{-1}$ to $10^{-3} \ mol \ L^{-1}$. The $pK_{a}$ of $HX$ is:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $5$
  • D

Which of the following statements are incorrect?

The first and second ionization constants of a weak dibasic acid $H_{2}A$ are $8.1 \times 10^{-8}$ and $1.0 \times 10^{-13}$ respectively. $0.1 \text{ mol}$ of $H_{2}A$ was dissolved in $1 \text{ L}$ of $0.1 \text{ M}$ $HCl$ solution. The concentration of $HA^{-}$ in the resultant solution is:

Order of solubility of solid $AgCl_{(s)}$ in given cases.
$(i)$ In pure water
$(ii)$ In presence of $0.1 \ M$ $AgNO_3$
$(iii)$ In presence of $2 \ M$ $aq.$ solution of $KCN$
$(iv)$ In presence of $1 \ M$ $aq.$ solution of $Ca(CN)_2$
$(v)$ In presence of $2 \ M$ $aq.$ solution of $NH_3$
(Assuming $100 \%$ dissociation of $AgNO_3$,$KCN$ and $Ca(CN)_2$ and complex formation with $NH_3$ and $CN^{-}$ will take place.)
