If degree of dissociation of pure water at 100°C is 1.8 × 10-8, then the dissociation constant of water will be (density of H2O = 1 g/cc)

(a) 1 × 10-12

(b) 1 × 10-14

(c) 1.8 × 10-12

(d) 1.8 × 10-14

Answer is : (d) 1.8 × 10-14

Explanation:

As, molarity

= \(\frac{Wt.\;of\;solute\;per\;litre\;of\;solution}{Mol.\;wt.\;of\;solute}\)

Molarity of H2O

= \(\frac{1000}{18}\)mol/L

H2O ⇌ H+ + OH-

c(1-α)  cα     cα

Thus,

Ka = \(\frac{c \alpha^2}{1-α}\)

= cα2

= \(\frac{1000}{18}\times(1.8 \times 10^{-8})^2\)

= 1.8 x 10-14
