    A monoprotic acid in 1.00 M solution is 0.01% ionised. The dissociation constant of this acid is

    A)  \[1\times {{10}^{-8}}\]                                 

    B)  \[1\times {{10}^{-4}}\]

    C)  \[1\times {{10}^{-6}}\]                                 

    D)  \[1\times {{10}^{-5}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Key Idea For a weak electrolyte according to Ostwalds dilution law.                 \[\alpha =\sqrt{K\,.\,\,V}\] or            \[K={{\alpha }^{2}}C\]    \[\left( V=\frac{1}{C} \right)\] where, K is known as dissociation constant                 C is concentration in mol/L                 \[\alpha \] degree of ionisation                 Here,     a = 0.01%                 \[=0.0001=1\times {{10}^{-4}}\]                 C = 1.00M We know,           \[{{K}_{a}}={{\alpha }^{2}}.\,\,C\]                                 \[{{K}_{a}}={{(1\times {{10}^{-4}})}^{2}}\times 1\]                                 \[{{K}_{a}}=1\times {{10}^{-8}}\]
