It has been found that the $pH$ of a $0.01$ $M$ solution of an organic acid is $4.15 .$ Calculate the concentration of the anion, the ionization constant of the acid and its $p{K_a}$
Let the organic acid be $HA$.
$\Rightarrow HA \longleftrightarrow H ^{+}+ A$
Concentration of $HA =0.01 \,M \,pH$
$=4.15$
$-\log \left[ H ^{+}\right]=4.15$
$\left[ H ^{+}\right]=7.08 \times 10^{-5}$
Now, $K_{a}=\frac{\left[ H ^{+}\right]\left[ A ^{-}\right]}{[ HA ]}$
$\left[ H ^{+}\right]=\left[ A ^{-}\right]=7.08 \times 10^{-5}$
$[ HA ]=0.01$
Then, $K_{a}=\frac{\left(7.08 \times 10^{-5}\right)\left(7.08 \times 10^{-5}\right)}{0.01}$
$K_{a}=5.01 \times 10^{-7}$
$p K_{a}=-\log K_{a}$
$=-\log \left(5.01 \times 10^{-7}\right)$
$p K_{a}=6.3001$
Calculate the degree of ionization of $0.05 \,M$ acetic acid if its $p K_{ a }$ value is $4.74$
How is the degree of dissociation affected when its solution also contains $(a)$ $0.01 \,M$ $(b)$ $0.1 \,M$ in $HCl$ ?
The first and second dissociation constants of an acid $H_2A$ are $1.0 \times 10^{-5}$ and $5.0 \times 10^{-10}$ respectively. The overall dissociation constant of the acid will be
$0.01\, M \,HA(aq.)$ is $2\%$ ionized, $[OH^-]$ of solution is :-
What is polyprotic acid ? Give examples of polyprotic acid and its ionization.
If $pK_a =\, -\,log K_a=4$ for a weak acid $HX$ and $K_a= C\alpha ^2$ then Van't Haff factor when $C = 0.01\,M$ is
