Dissociation constant and degree of dissociation of weak acid are \(1.8 \times 10^{-5}\) and 0.03 respectively. What will be the concentration of solution of weak acid?

  1. A 0.2 M
  2. B 0.02 M
  3. C 0.5 M
  4. D 0.05 M
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.02 M

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}}=\alpha^2 \mathrm{c} \)
\( \therefore \mathrm{c}=\frac{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}}}{\alpha^2}=\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-5}}{(0.03)^2}=\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-5}}{9 \times 10^{-4}}\) \(=0.02 \mathrm{M}\)
