JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Equilibrium / साम्यावस्था Question Bank Mock Test - Ionic Equilibrium

  • question_answer
    The first and second dissociation constant of an acid \[{{H}_{2}}A\] are\[1.0\times {{10}^{-5}}\] and \[5.0\times {{10}^{-10}}\] respectively. The overall dissociation constant of the acid will be:

    A) \[5.0\times {{10}^{-5}}\]        

    B) \[5.0\times {{10}^{15}}\]

    C) \[5.0\times {{10}^{-15}}\]       

    D) \[0.2\times {{10}^{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[{{H}_{2}}A\rightleftharpoons H{{A}^{-}}+{{H}^{+}}\] \[\therefore {{K}_{1}}=1.0\times {{10}^{-5}}=\frac{[{{H}^{+}}][H{{A}^{-}}]}{[{{H}_{2}}A]}\] (given) \[H{{A}^{-}}\to {{H}^{+}}+{{A}^{2-}}\] \[\therefore {{K}_{2}}=5.0\times {{10}^{-10}}=\frac{[{{H}^{+}}][{{A}^{2-}}]}{[{{H}_{2}}A]}\]     (given) \[K=\frac{{{[{{H}^{+}}]}^{2}}[{{A}^{2-}}]}{[{{H}_{2}}A]}={{K}_{1}}\times {{K}_{2}}\]
