The conductivity of a weak acid HA of concentration 0.001 mol L−1is0.001 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1} is2.0 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}.<br/>If.<br />If\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}^{{}^{\circ}}(\mathrm{HA})=190 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1},theionizationconstant(Ka)ofHA, the ionization constant \left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}}\right) of \mathrm{HA} is equal to _______ x 10−610^{-6}.

Options

  1. A24
  2. B48
  3. C12
  4. D45

Correct answer

C. 12

Step-by-step solution

\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}=1000 \times \frac{\mathrm{K}}{\mathrm{M}}<br/><br />=1000 \times \frac{2 \times 10^{-5}}{0.001}=20 \mathrm{ S} \mathrm{ cm}^2 \mathrm{ mol}^{-1}<br/><br />\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}}{\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}^{{}^{\circ}}}=\frac{20}{190}= \left(\frac{2}{19}\right)
\underset{0.001(1-\alpha)}{\mathrm{HA}}\rightleftharpoons \underset{0.001 \alpha}{\mathrm{H}^{+}}+\underset{0.001 \alpha}{\mathrm{A}^{-}}<br />K_{\mathrm{a}}=0.001(α21−α)=0.001×(219)21−(219)<br/>=0.001\left(\frac{\alpha^2}{1-\alpha}\right)=\frac{0.001 \times\left(\frac{2}{19}\right)^2}{1-\left(\frac{2}{19}\right)}<br />=12.3 ×10−6\times10^{-6}
