An acid H₂A has first and second dissociation constants of 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ and 5.0 × 10⁻¹⁰, respectively. What is the overall dissociation constant of this acid?

  1. 0.2 × 10⁵
  2. 5.0 × 10⁵
  3. 5.0 × 10¹⁵
  4. 5.0 × 10⁻¹⁵

Correct answer: 5.0 × 10⁻¹⁵

Solution

Overall dissociation constant = (1.0e-5)(5.0e-10) = 5.0e-15. The stored 0.2e5 is wrong.
