A 0.02 M solution of a weak mono basic acid is 5% ionised. Calculate the ionisation constant of the acid.

Answer»

Solution :The degree of ionisation and the DISSOCIATION CONSTANT of the weak ACID are RELATED by the equation .
`K_a=(alpha^2 C)/(1-alpha)~= alpha^2 C`
`alpha=5% (or) 0.05`
`K_a=(0.05)^2 xx 0.02=0.00005`
`K_a=5xx10^(-5)`.
