Consider the dissociation equilibrium of the following weak acid HA H+(aq) + A-(aq) If the pKa of the acid is 4, then the pH of 10 mM HA solution is . (Nearest integer) [Given: The degree of dissociation can be neglected with respect to unity]

Answer

3

Solution

Ka = 10-4, C = 10 mM = 10-2 M

α ≪ 1 Ka = C 2

[H+] = C = Ka C

= 10-4 10-2 = 10-3 M

pH = - (10-3) = 3

(Equivalently, pH = 12(pKa - C) = 12(4 + 2) = 3)

Answer: 3
