Question

The degree of ionization of a 0.1M bromoacetic acid solution is 0.132. Calculate the pH of the solution and the pKa of bromoacetic acid.

Solution

Degree of ionization, α = 0.132

Concentration, c = 0.1 M

Thus, the concentration of H3O+ = c.α

= 0.1 × 0.132

= 0.0132

`"pH" = - log["H"^+]`

`=- log(0.0132)`

= 1.879 : 1.88

Now

`"K"_"a" = "C" alpha^2`

`= 0.1 xx (0.132)^2`

`"K"_"a" = .0017`

`"pK"_"a" = 2.75`
