I think the answer is OPC
Answer:
pKa = 3.72
Explanation:
Let's consider the dissociation of a generic monoprotic weak acid.
HA(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq)
For a weak acid, we can find the value of the acid dissociation constant (Ka) using the following expression:
where,
[H⁺] is the molar concentration of H⁺
Ca is the initial concentration of the acid
First, we need to find [H⁺] from pH.
pH = -log [H⁺]
[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -2.40 = 3.98 × 10⁻³ M
Then,
Finally,
pKa = -log Ka = -log 1.89 × 10⁻⁴ = 3.72
The Latin word for sour, acere.
