Question

The dissociation constant of acetic acid at a given temperature is 1.69 × 10-5. The degree of dissociation of 0.01 M acetic acid in the presence of 0.01 M HCl is equal to

Options

A.0.41
B.0.13
C.1.69 × 10-3
D.0.013.

Solution

CH3COOH (aq) ⇋ H+ (aq) + CH3COO- (aq)
t = 0          0.01
t = eq       0.01 - x        x          x
[H+] = x + 0.01 ≈ 0.01 M
∴  Ka =     ⇒  1.69 × 10-5 =
∴  [CH3COO-] = 1.69 × 10-5 M
So, degree of dissociation of CH3COOH = = 1.69 × 10-3
