If p K b for the fluoride ion at 25 ° C is 10.83, the ionization constant of hydrofluoric acid in water at this temperature is
Options
- A1.74 × 1 0 - 5
- B3.52 × 1 0 - 3
- C6.76 × 1 0 - 4
- D5.38 × 1 0 - 2
Correct answer
C. 6.76 × 1 0 - 4
Step-by-step solution
p K b = 10.83 , log   K b = − 10.83 − ( 11 − 0.17 ) On taking antilog K b = 1.479 × 1 0 - 11 K a . K b = K w or K a × 1.479 × 1 0 - 11 = 1.0 × 1 0 - 14 K a = 6.76 × 1 0 - 4
