Answer : The acid dissociation constant Ka of the acid is, 8.7\times 10^{-5}

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the concentration of hydrogen ion.

pH=-\log [H^+]

Given: pH = 4.06

4.06=-\log [H^+]

[H^+]=8.71\times 10^{-5}M

The dissociation of acid reaction is:

                         HA\rightarrow H^++A^-

Initial conc.      c        0         0

At eqm.           c-cα    cα       cα

Given:

Degree of dissociation = α = 0.10 % = 0.001

[H^+]=c\alpha

8.71\times 10^{-5}=c\times 0.001

c=0.0871M

The expression of dissociation constant of acid is:

K_a=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

K_a=\frac{(c\times \alpha)\times (c\times \alpha)}{(c-c\alpha)}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

K_a=\frac{(0.0871\times 0.001)\times (0.0871\times 0.001)}{(0.0871-0.0871\times 0.001)}

K_a=8.7\times 10^{-5}

Thus, the acid dissociation constant Ka of the acid is, 8.7\times 10^{-5}
