Explanation:

It is known that the relation between pH and hydrogen ion concentration is as follows.

             pH = -log [H^{+}]

                  3 = -log [H^{+}]

                  antilog (-3) = 1 \times 10^{-3}

                     [H^{+}] = 1 \times 10^{-3} M

Now, let the given acid is HA and it dissociates as follows.

           HA \rightarrow H^{+} + A^{-}

                  0.1           0         0

                0.1 - x         x         x

We know that relation between K_{a}, [H^{+}] and HA is as follows.

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

                    = \frac{x \times x}{(c - x)}

                     = \frac{1 \times 10^{-3} \times 1 \times 10^{-3}}{(0.1 - 1 \times 10^{-3})}

                  = 1.01 \times 10^{-5}

Also,     pK_{a} = -log K_{a}

                        = -log (1.01 \times 10^{-5})

                       = 5.00

Thus, we can conclude that the pK_{a} of given acid is 5.0.

Answer is: pKa for the monoprotic acid is 5.<span>
Chemical reaction: HA(aq) </span>⇄ A⁻(aq) + H⁺<span>(aq).
c(monoprotic acid) = 0.100 M.
pH = 3.00.
[A</span>⁻] = [H⁺] = 10∧(-3).<span>
[A</span>⁻] = [H⁺] = 0.001 M; equilibrium concentration.<span>
[HA] = 0.1 M - 0.001 M.
[HA] = 0.099 M.
Ka = [A</span>⁻]·[H⁺] / [HA].<span> 
Ka = (0.001 M)² / 0.099 M.
Ka = 0.00001 M = 1.0·10</span>⁻⁵ M.
<span>pKa = -logKa = 4.99.

Why do we crack molecules?
tino4ka555 [31]

We need to crack molecules in order for us to get the desired molecule. For example, in the extraction of crude oil, after entering the fractional distillation, it will give products base on their molecular structure. The products are gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, wax, asbestos,kerosene.
