Equilibrium Question 906

Question: A mixture of weak acid is $ 0.1M $ in $ HCOOH $

$ (K_{a}=1.8\times {10^{-4}}) $ and $ 0.1M $ in $ HOCN(K_{a}=3.1\times {10^{-4}}) $ Hence, $ [H_3{O^{\oplus }}] $ is

Options:

A) $ 7.0\times {10^{-3}}M $

B) $ 4.1\times {10^{-4}}M $

C) $ 0.20M $

D) $ 4.1\times {10^{-3}}M $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ [H_3{O^{+}}]=\sqrt{K_1C_1+K_2C_2} $

$ =\sqrt{1.8\times {10^{-4}}\times 0.1+3.1\times {10^{-4}}\times 0.1} $

$ =7\times {10^{-3}}M $
