The percentage of pyridine $(C_5H_5N)$ that forms pyridinium ion $(C_5H_5N^+H)$ in a $0.10\, M$ aqueous pyridine solution ($K_b$ for $C_5H_5N = 1.7 \times 10^{-9}$) is
$0.0060 \%$
$0.013\%$
$0.77\%$
$1.6\%$
Derive ${K_w} = {K_a} \times {K_b}$ and ${K_w} = p{K_a} \times p{K_b}$ for weak base $B$ and its conjugate acid ${B{H^ + }}$.
Write examples of weak acids and weak bases and give ionic equilibrium in its aqueous solution.
Values of dissociation constant, $K_a$ are given as follows
Acid | $K_a$ |
$HCN$ | $6.2\times 10^{-10}$ |
$HF$ | $7.2\times 10^{-4}$ |
$HNO_2$ | $4.0\times 10^{-4}$ |
Correct order of increasing base strength of the base $CN^-,F^-$ and $NO_2^-$ will be
Derive the equation of ionization constants ${K_a}$ of weak acids $HX$.
The ionization constant of propanoic acid is $1.32 \times 10^{-5}$. Calculate the degree of ionization of the acid in its $0.05\, M$ solution and also its $pH$. What will be its degree of ionization if the solution is $0.01$ $M$ in $HCl$ also?
