    The first and second dissociation constants of an acid \[{{H}_{2}}A\] are \[1.0\times {{10}^{-5}}\] and \[5.0\times {{10}^{-10}}\] respectively. The overall dissociation constant of the acid will be

    A) \[0.2\times {{10}^{5}}\]          

    B) \[5.0\times {{10}^{-5}}\]

    C) \[5.0\times {{10}^{15}}\]         

    D) \[5.0\times {{10}^{-15}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[{{H}_{2}}A\rightleftharpoons {{H}^{+}}+H{{A}^{-}}~\] \[\therefore {{K}_{1}}=1.0\times {{10}^{-5}}=\frac{[{{H}^{+}}][H{{A}^{-}}]}{[{{H}_{2}}A]}\] (Given) \[H{{A}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}^{+}}+{{A}^{2-}}\] \[\therefore {{K}_{2}}=5.0\times {{10}^{-10}}=\frac{[{{H}^{+}}][{{A}^{2-}}]}{[H{{A}^{-}}]}\]  (Given) \[K=\frac{{{[{{H}^{+}}]}^{2}}[{{A}^{2-}}]}{[{{H}_{2}}A]}={{K}_{1}}\times {{K}_{2}}\] \[=\left( 1.0\times {{10}^{-5}} \right)\times \left( 5\times {{10}^{-10}} \right)=5\times {{10}^{-15}}\]
