The first and second dissociation constants of an acid H 2 A a r e 1.0 × 10 - 5 a n d 5.0 × 10 - 10 respectively. The overall dissociation constant of the acid will be
Options
- A5.0 × 10 - 5
- B5.0 × 10 15
- C5.0 × 10 - 15
- D0.2 × 10 5
Correct answer
C. 5.0 × 10 - 15
Step-by-step solution
Given K 1 = 1.0 × 10 − 5 , K 2 = 1.0 × 10 − 5 so overall dissociation constant of the acid will be K = K 1 × K 2 = 1.8 × 10 - 5 × 5.0 × 10 - 10 = 10 × 10 - 15
