. For the same total concentration of carbonate (i.e., CT =[H2CO3*] + [HCO3-] + [CO32-] but ignore H2CO3* at high pH), the relative rate of destruction of target organic compound increases with increasing pH. Select one: True False
Answer : True, the relative rate of destruction of target organic compound increases with increasing pH
Explanation : For the same total concentration of carbonate
Total Concentration is given as = [H2CO3*] + [HCO3-] + [CO32-] : H2CO3* at high pH is ignore
then the relative rate of destruction of target organic compound increases with increasing pH, at high ph the rate id directly propotional to hydroxyl ion so the rate of destruction of target organic is maximum.
