Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A weak acid, HA, has a Kₐ of 1.00 × 10⁻⁵. If 0.100 mole of this acid dissolved in one litre of water, the percentage of acid dissociated at equilibrium is closest to

A

1.00%

B

99.9%

C

0.100%

D

99.0%

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the formula for percent dissociation, % dissociation = (√(Kₐ/C₀)) × 100. Substituting the given values, the percentage dissociation is approximately 1.00%.
