$p{K_a}$ of a weak acid is defined as
$log_{10}{K_a}$
$\frac{1}{{lo{g_{10}}{K_a}}}$
$log _{10}\frac{1}{{{K_a}}}$
$-log_{10}\frac{1}{{{K_a}}}$
Given
$(i)$ $\begin{gathered}
HCN\left( {aq} \right) + {H_2}O\left( l \right) \rightleftharpoons {H_3}{O^ + }\left( {aq} \right) + C{N^ - }\left( {aq} \right) \hfill \\
{K_a} = 6.2 \times {10^{ - 10}} \hfill \\
\end{gathered} $
$(ii)$ $\begin{gathered}
C{N^ - }\left( {aq} \right) + {H_2}O\left( l \right) \rightleftharpoons HCN\left( {aq} \right) + O{H^ - }\left( {aq} \right) \hfill \\
{K_b} = 1.6 \times {10^{ - 5}} \hfill \\
\end{gathered} $
These equilibria show the following order of the relative base strength
The ionization constant of acetic acid is $1.74 \times 10^{-5}$. Calculate the degree of dissociation of acetic acid in its $0.05\, M$ solution. Calculate the concentration of acetate ion in the solution and its $pH$.
For a weak acid, the incorrect statement is
In aqueous solution the ionization constants for carbonic acid are
$K_1 = 4.2 \times 10^{-7}$ and $K_2 = 4.8 \times 10^{-11}$
Select the correct statement for a saturated $0.034\, M$ solution of the carbonic acid.
$0.01\, M \,HA(aq.)$ is $2\%$ ionized, $[OH^-]$ of solution is :-
