Ka1 Ka2 and Ka3 are the respective ionization constants for the following reactions-H2S ⇌ H+ + HS-H2S- ⇌ H+ + S2-H2S ⇌ 2H+ + S2-Write the correct relationship between Ka1, Ka2 and Ka3.

Answer»

For the reaction,

H2S ⇌ H+ + HS

Ka1 = \(\frac{[H^+][HS^-]}{[H_2S]}\)

For the reaction,

HS-⇌ H+ + S2- 

Ka2\(\frac{[H^+][S^{2-}]}{[HS^{-}]}\)

When above reactions are added, their equilibrium constants are multiplied. So, for the reaction,

H2S ⇌ 2H+ + S2-

Ka3\(\frac{[H^+]^2[S^{2-}]}{[H_2S]}\)

= Ka1 x ka2

\(\therefore\) Ka= Kax ka2
