Calculate the acid dissociation constant of a weak monoprotic


Asked by maham237 @ in Chemistry viewed by 304 People


Calculate the acid dissociation constant of a weak monoprotic acid if a 0.5M solution of this acid gives a hydrogen-ion concentration of 0.000 1M? Show your work.

Answered by maham237 @



First we create a balanced equation

HA <-> H(+) + A(-)

Then, we set up an ICE table

HA <--> H(+) + A(-)
[]i 0.5M 0M 0M
Δ[] -x +x +x
[]f 0.5M-x 0.0001M 0.0001M

From this, we can say that x = 0.0001.

Next, we set up the equation

Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]

Ka = [0.0001][0.0001]/[0.5-0.0001]

Ka = 2x10^-8
