0.2 M solution of formic acid is ionized...

`0.2` M solution of formic acid is ionized `3.2%`. Its ionization constant is

A

`9.6 xx 10^(-3)`

B

`2.1 xx 10^(-4)`

C

`1.25 xx 10^(-6)`

D

`4.8 xx 10^(-5)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`K_(a) = C alpha^(2) = 0.2 xx ((3.2)/(100))^(2) = 2.048 xx 10^(-4) = 2.1 xx 10^(-4)`.
