At 25∘C25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, the concentration of H+\mathrm{H}^{+}ions in 1.00×10−3M1.00 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M} aqueous solution of a weak monobasic acid having acid dissociation constant \left(K_a\right)=4.00 \times 10^{-11} is X×10−7M\boldsymbol{X} \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{M}. The value of X\boldsymbol{X} is _____ . Use: Ionic product of water (Kw)=1.00×10−14\left(K_w\right)=1.00 \times 10^{-14} at 25∘C25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

Step-by-step solution

Because concentration of H+\mathrm{H}+ from weak acid is less we need to consider self ionization of H2Oalso.\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} also.HX(aq)⇌H++X−(aq)10−3−xx+yxH2O(l)⇌H+(aq)+OH−(aq)x+yy\begin{array}{rl}\mathrm{HX}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightleftharpoons & \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{X}^{-}(\mathrm{aq}) \\ 10^{-3}-\mathrm{x} \quad & \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y} \quad \mathrm{x} \\ \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l) \rightleftharpoons & \mathrm{H}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{OH}^{-}(\mathrm{aq}) \\ & \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y} \quad \quad \mathrm{y}\end{array}Approximation : $\left(10^{-3}-\mathrm{x}\right) \simeq 10^{-3}\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{x(x+y)}{10^{-3}}=K_a=4 \times 10^{-11}....(1) \\ & \Rightarrow \quad y(x+y)=K w=10^{-14}.....(2) \end{aligned}\begin{array}{ll} \text{ Add }(1)+(2) \\ \end{array}\begin{array}{ll}\Rightarrow & (\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y})^2=5 \times 10^{-14} \\ \Rightarrow & \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}=\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=\sqrt{5} \times 10^{-7} \\ \Rightarrow & \mathrm{x}=\sqrt{5}=2.236\end{array}$$$ Answer 2.23 or 2.24.
