If a very small amount of $HPh$ (phenolphthalein) is added to a $0.1 \ M$ aqueous solution of $CH_3COONa$,the fraction of the indicator that exists in the colourless form is:
$[K_b(CH_3COO^{-}) = 10^{-9}, pK_a(HPh) = 9.6, \log 2 = 0.3]$

  • A
    $0.2$
  • B
    $0.8$
  • C
    $0.5$
  • D
    $0.4$
