The molar conductivities of H^(+) and HCOO^(-) ions at infinite dilution are 34.7 and 5.4 mSm^(2) " mol"^(-1) respectively. The molar conductivity of 0.25 M HCOOH is 4.0 mSm^(2) mol^(-1). Then pK_(a) of formic acid is

Answer»

3.6
4.2
4.8
1.8

Solution :`ALPHA = (^^_M)/(^^_(M)^(0)) = (4)/(34.6 + 5.4) = (4)/(210) = 0.1 , K_a = C alpha^(2) = 0.025 XX (0.1)^(2) = 25 xx 10^(-5)`
`P^(Ka) = - log(25 xx 10^(-5)) = 5 - log 5^(2) = 5 = 2 log 5 = 5 -2 xx 0.7 = 5 - 1.4 = 3.6`
