AIPMT PRELIMS 2001 Chemistry Ionization Constants MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

Ionisation constant of CH₃COOH is 1.7 × 10⁻⁵ and concentration of H⁺ ions is 3.4 × 10⁻³. Then find out initial concentration of CH₃COOH molecules :-

A

3.4 × 10⁴

B

3.4 × 10⁻³

C

6.8 × 10⁻⁴

D

6.8 × 10⁻³

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Using the formula for ionization constant, Kₐ = [H⁺][A⁻]/[HA], we can solve for the initial concentration [HA] of CH₃COOH. Substituting the given values, we find the initial concentration to be 3.4 × 10⁴.
