The specific conductance of 0.0025M0 . 0025M acetic acid is 5×10−5Scm−15 \times {10}^{- 5}S{cm}^{- 1} at a certain temperature. The dissociation constant of acetic acid is ___________ ×10−7\times {10}^{- 7}.(Nearest integer)

Consider limiting molar conductivity of CH3COOH{CH}_{3}COOH as 400Scm2mol−1400S{cm}^{2}{mol}^{- 1}

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The relation between Molar conductance λm{\lambda}_{m} and specific conductance κκ is

λm=k×1000M{\lambda}_{m} = \dfrac{k \times 1000}{M}

M = molarity

λm=(5×10−5)×(103)(2.5×10−3)=20Scm2mol−1{\lambda}_{m} = \dfrac{\left(5 \times {10}^{- 5}\right) \times \left({10}^{3}\right)}{\left(2 . 5 \times {10}^{- 3}\right)} = 20S{cm}^{2}{mol}^{- 1}

Now, the degree of dissociation, α=λmλ∞\alpha = \dfrac{{\lambda}_{m}}{{\lambda}^{\infty}}

α=20400=120\alpha = \dfrac{20}{400} = \dfrac{1}{20}

The acid dissociation constant, Ka=Cα2(1−α)=(2.5×10−3)(120×120)(1920){K}_{a} = \dfrac{{C \alpha}^{2}}{( 1 - \alpha )} = \dfrac{\left(2 . 5 \times {10}^{- 3}\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{20} \times \dfrac{1}{20}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{19}{20}\right)}

=65.789×10–7= 65 . 789 \times {10}^{– 7}

≈66×10–7\approx 66 \times {10}^{– 7}
