The pH of 0.1M solution of cyanic acid (HCNO) is 2.34. Calculate the ionization constant of the acid and its degree of ionization in the solution.
c = 0.1 M
pH = 2.34
-log [H+] = pH
-log [H+] = 2.34
[H+] = 4.5 x 10-3
also
[H+] = cα
4.5 x 10-3 = 0.1 α
α = 4.5 x 10-3 / 0.1
α = 45 x 10-3
Then,
Ka = cα2
= 0.1 (45 x 10-3)2
= 202.5 x 10-6
= 2.02 x 10-4
