What is the concentration of `CH_(3)COOH` which can be added to `0.5M HCOOH` solution so that dissociation of both is same. `K_(CH_(3)COOH) = 1.8 xx 10^(-5), K_(HCOOH) = 2.4 xx 10^(-4)` |
Answer» `HCOOH hArr H^(o+) + HCOO^(Theta)` `CH_(3)COOH hArr H^(o+) + CH_(3)COO^(Theta)` Since both are present in a mixture and therefore, `[HCOO^(Theta)]` by `HCOOH = [CH_(3)COO^(Theta)]` by `CH_(3)COOH` `C_(1)alpha_(1) = C_(2)alpha_(2)` `sqrt((K_(a_(1))C_(1))) = sqrt((K_(a_(2))C_(2)))` `:. sqrt((2.4 xx 10^(-4) xx 0.5)) = sqrt((1.8 xx 10^(-5)xxC))` `:. C_(CH_(3)COOH) = 6.66M` |
