If pK_(b) for fluoride ion at 25^(@)C is 10.83, the ionisation constant of hydrofluoric acid at this temperature is

Answer»

`1.74xx10^(-5)`
`3.52 xx 10^(-3)`
`6.75 xx 10^(-4)`
`5.38xx10^(-2)`.

SOLUTION :The DISSOCIATION constants of a WEAK acid and its conjugate base arerelated as
` pK_(a)+pK_(b)=pK_(w)`
`:. pK_(a)+10.83=14 "or " pK_(a)=3.17`
`- log K_(a)=3.17`
or log `K_(a)=-3.17=bar(4).83 "or" K_(a)=6.76xx10^(-4)`.
