NEET2023ChemistryIonic EquilibriumActual
For a weak acid HA , the percentage of dissociation is nearly 1 % at equilibrium. If the concentration of acid is 0.1 ~mol ~L ⁻¹ , then the correct option for its K _ a at the same temperature is
Options
- A1 10⁻⁵
- B1 10⁻³
- C1 10⁻⁴
- D1 10⁻⁶
Correct answer
A. 1 10⁻⁵
Step-by-step solution
aligned & HA H ⁺+ A ⁻ & At t =0 C - & At eq. C - C C C & K = [ H ⁺ ] [ A ⁻ ] [ HA ] = ( C )( C ) C (1- ) = C ^2 1- = C ^2 ( is very small ) & =0.1(0.01)^2=1 10⁻⁵ & aligned
