The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ionization constant \( K_a \) of the weak acid \( HA \) given its conductivity and molar conductance at infinite dilution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Given Data**: - Concentration of the weak acid \( [HA] = 0.001 \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \) - Conductivity \( \kappa = 2.0 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{S cm}^{-1} \) - Molar conductance at infinite dilution \( \Lambda_m^0(HA) = 190 \, \text{S cm}^2 \text{mol}^{-1} \) 2. **Calculate Molar Conductance at Given Concentration**: Molar conductance \( \Lambda \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Lambda = \frac{\kappa \times 1000}{C} \] where \( C \) is the concentration in mol L\(^{-1}\). Substituting the values: \[ \Lambda = \frac{2.0 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{S cm}^{-1} \times 1000}{0.001} = \frac{2.0 \times 10^{-2}}{0.001} = 20 \, \text{S cm}^2 \text{mol}^{-1} \] 3. **Calculate Degree of Ionization (\( \alpha \))**: The degree of ionization \( \alpha \) can be calculated using: \[ \alpha = \frac{\Lambda}{\Lambda_m^0} \] Substituting the values: \[ \alpha = \frac{20}{190} \approx 0.10526 \] 4. **Calculate the Ionization Constant \( K_a \)**: The ionization constant \( K_a \) for the weak acid can be calculated using the formula: \[ K_a = \frac{C \cdot \alpha^2}{1 - \alpha} \] Since \( \alpha \) is small, we can approximate \( 1 - \alpha \approx 1 \): \[ K_a \approx C \cdot \alpha^2 \] Substituting the values: \[ K_a \approx 0.001 \cdot (0.10526)^2 \approx 0.001 \cdot 0.0111 \approx 1.108 \times 10^{-5} \] 5. **Express \( K_a \) in Required Format**: To express \( K_a \) in the form of \( x \times 10^{-6} \): \[ K_a \approx 11.08 \times 10^{-6} \] Rounding off to the nearest integer gives: \[ K_a \approx 11 \times 10^{-6} \] ### Final Answer: The ionization constant \( K_a \) of the weak acid \( HA \) is approximately \( 11 \times 10^{-6} \). ---
