A) 1 : 16
B) 1 : 4
C) 4 : 1
D) 16 : 1
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Key Idea: \[\frac{strength\,of\,acid\,H{{A}_{1}}}{Strength\,of\,acid\,H{{A}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{K}_{1}}}{{{K}_{2}}}}\] Given: dissociation constant for \[H{{A}_{1}}\] \[=3.0\times {{10}^{-4}}\] Dissociation constant for \[H{{A}_{2}}=1.8\times {{10}^{-5}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{\text{stregth}\,\text{ofacid}\,\text{H}{{\text{A}}_{\text{1}}}}{\text{strength}\,\text{of}\,\text{acid}\,\text{H}{{\text{A}}_{\text{2}}}}\text{=}\sqrt{\frac{3.0\times {{10}^{-4}}}{1.8\times {{10}^{-5}}}}\] \[=\sqrt{\frac{16.66}{1}}=\frac{4}{1}\] \[\therefore \] strength of acid\[\text{H}{{\text{A}}_{\text{1}}}\text{:}\] strength of acid \[\text{H}{{\text{A}}_{2}}=4:1\]You need to login to perform this action.
