The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided regarding the dissociation constants of a polybasic acid. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Polybasic Acids**: - A polybasic acid is an acid that can donate more than one proton (H⁺) per molecule. For example, let’s consider a generic polybasic acid represented as H₃A. 2. **Dissociation Steps**: - The dissociation of H₃A can be represented in three steps: - First dissociation: \[ H_3A \rightleftharpoons H^+ + H_2A^- \] Here, the dissociation constant is \( K_1 \). - Second dissociation: \[ H_2A^- \rightleftharpoons H^+ + HA^{2-} \] Here, the dissociation constant is \( K_2 \). - Third dissociation: \[ HA^{2-} \rightleftharpoons H^+ + A^{3-} \] Here, the dissociation constant is \( K_3 \). 3. **Analyzing the Dissociation Constants**: - In the first dissociation, H⁺ ions are produced. The presence of these H⁺ ions will affect the subsequent dissociations due to the common ion effect. - The common ion effect states that the presence of a common ion (in this case, H⁺) will suppress the dissociation of the acid. Therefore, the more H⁺ ions that are present, the less the second and third dissociations will occur. 4. **Establishing the Order of Dissociation Constants**: - Since \( K_1 \) represents the first dissociation, it is expected to be the largest because it is not influenced by any other H⁺ ions from prior dissociations. - For \( K_2 \), it is influenced by the H⁺ ions produced in the first dissociation, leading to a smaller value than \( K_1 \). - Similarly, \( K_3 \) is influenced by both \( K_1 \) and \( K_2 \), making it the smallest. - Thus, we have: \[ K_1 > K_2 > K_3 \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The assertion that the dissociation constants of a polybasic acid are in the order \( K_1 > K_2 > K_3 \) is correct. - The reason provided explains that the H⁺ ions from the first dissociation exert a common ion effect that reduces the extent of the second and third dissociations, which is also correct. - Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
