The dissociation constant of a weak acid is `1.0 xx 10^(-5)`, the equilibrium constant for the reaction with strong base isA. `1.0 xx 10^(-5)`B. `1.0 xx 10^(-9)`C. `1.0 xx 10^(9)`D. `1.0 xx 10^(14)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`HA hArr H^(+) + A^(-) , K_(a) = ([H^(+)][A^(-)])/([HA])` ....(i)
`K = ([A^(-)])/([HA][OH^(-)])` ....(ii)
Dividing (i) by (ii) `(K_(a))/(K) = [H^(+)] [OH^(-)] = K_(w) = 10^(-14)`
`K = (K_(a))/(K_(w)) = (10^(-5))/(10^(-14)) = 10^(9)`
