Weak Acid and Base Equilibria

AP Chemistry· difficulty 2/5

The pH of 0.10 M HA is 3.0.

[HA]₀ = 0.10 M pH = 3.00 Find Ka

What is Ka of HA?

  • A

    1.0×10⁻¹

  • B

    1.0×10⁻⁵

    check_circle
  • C

    1.0×10⁻³

  • D

    1.0×10⁻⁷

Explanation

[H⁺] = 10⁻³ M = x. Ka ≈ x²/[HA]₀ = (10⁻³)²/0.10 = 10⁻⁶/10⁻¹ = 10⁻⁵.
