MCQ
Ionisation constant of $CH_3COOH$ is $1.7 \times 10^{-5}$ and concentration of $H^+$ ions is $3.4 \times 10^{-4}$. Then find out initial concentration of $CH_3COOH$ Molecules
  • A
    $3.4 \times {10^{ - 4}}$
  • B
    $3.4 \times {10^{ - 3}}$
  • C
    $6.8 \times {10^{ - 4}}$
  • $6.8 \times {10^{ - 3}}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$6.8 \times {10^{ - 3}}$
d
The ionization reaction for $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}$ follows:

$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{-}+\mathrm{H}^{+}$

At eqm. $\mathrm{x} \quad 3.4 \times 10^{-4} \quad 3.4 \times 10^{-4}$

The ionization constant for the above reaction is written as:

$\mathrm{k}=\frac{\left[\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{OO}^{-}\right]\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\right]}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.7 \times 10^{-5}=\frac{\left(3.4 \times 10^{-4}\right)\left(3.4 \times 10^{-4}\right)}{\mathrm{x}}$

$\mathrm{x}=6.8 \times 10^{-3}$

Hence, option D is correct.
