A 0.10 mol dm⁻³ solution of an unknown carboxylic acid HA has a measured pH of 2.85 at 25 °C. A second acid HB is identical to HA but contains an α‑chloro substituent, which increases its acid dissociation constant by a factor of 5. Calculate the acid dissociation constant \(K_a\) of HA and the pH of a 0.10 mol dm⁻³ solution of HB under the same conditions.

Answer Options

A. K_a(HA)=1.0×10⁻⁵; pH(HB)=2.70
B. K_a(HA)=2.5×10⁻⁵; pH(HB)=2.55
Correct Answer C. K_a(HA)=2.0×10⁻⁵; pH(HB)=2.50
D. K_a(HA)=3.0×10⁻⁵; pH(HB)=2.30
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
K_a(HA)=2.0×10⁻⁵; pH(HB)=2.50
