Acetic acid dissociated to 1.20 % in its 0.01 M solution. What is the value of its dissociation constant?
Options
- A2.20 10⁻²
- B1.60 10⁻⁴
- C1.44 10⁻⁶
- D2.40 10⁻⁴
Correct answer
C. 1.44 10⁻⁶
Step-by-step solution
Percent dissociation =1.20 % Degree of dissociation ( )=0.012 For a weak monobasic acid, K _ a = ^2 c =(0.012)^2 0.01=1.44 10⁻⁶
