At \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the degree of dissociation of weak acid (HA) in its 0.5 M aqueous solution is \(1 \%\). Its \(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}}\) value is approximately

  1. A \(5 \times 10^{-4}\)
  2. B \(5 \times 10^{-5}\)
  3. C \(5 \times 10^{-6}\)
  4. D \(5 \times 10^{-8}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5 \times 10^{-4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

degree of dissociation of weak acid (HA) \(=1 \%\) \(\alpha=1 \%\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{100}=0.01\) Dissociation constant \(\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}}\right)=\mathrm{C} \alpha^2\) where, \(C(\text { concentration })=0.5 \mathrm{M}\)…
