6-2.Equilibrium-II (Ionic Equilibrium)
medium
The dissociation constant of an acid $HA$ is $1 \times {10^{ - 5}}$. The $pH$ of $0.1$ molar solution of the acid will be
A
$5$
B
$4$
C
$3$
D
$1$
Solution
(c) $HA$ $ \rightleftharpoons $ ${H^ + } + {A^ – }$
$[{H^ + }] = 0.1\,\,M$; ${[{H^ + }]^2} = {K_a} \times C$
$[{H^ + }] = \sqrt {{K_a} \times C} = \sqrt {1 \times {{10}^{ – 5}} \times 0.1} = \sqrt {{{10}^{ – 6}}} $
$[{H^ + }] = {10^{ – 3}}M;\,\,pH = 3$
