Question

Determine the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for a 0.200 M solution of hydrogen sulfate ion with

Answer 1

The acid dissociation constant(Ka) is 0.0095

The reaction for this dissociation of acid is

HSO4 ⇄H+ + SO4 -2

The dissociation constant can be determined from the following expression

$Ka= \frac{[H+] [SO4]-2}{[HSO4}$  

[H+] = 10-PH

       = 10-1.35

[H+]  = 0.0447

[H+] = 0.0447 mol / L

From equation, [H+] = [SO4-2] = 0.0447 mol / L

[SO4-2] = 0.0447 mol / L

From the values of [H+], [SO4-2] and [HSO4] Ka can be calculated as follows,

Ka = 0.0447 * 0.0447 / 0.200

     = 0.0019 / 0.200

     = 0.0095

Hence the value of the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for the given reaction is  0.0095
