Chapter 16, Problem 104IAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the extremely dilute solution show that degree of ionization $\alpha =\frac{K_a}{K_a+{10}^{-7}}$ at 25 ⁰C.

Concept introduction:

In the water the product of concentration of OH- and H+ ions at a specific temperature is recognized as ionic product i.e. Kw of water. The Kw values increment with the increment in temperature which means the OH- and H+ ion’s concentration increments with the increment in temperature. The Kw value is $\text{1}\times {\text{10}}^{-4}$ at 25 ⁰C.
