Explanation / Answer

Q14.

HIO3 <-> H+ + IO3-

[H+] = [IO3-]

pH = 2.12

[H+] = 10^-pH = 10^-2.12 = 0.007585 M

[IO3-] = 0.007585 M

[HIO3] = 0.00796 M (before equilibrium

in equilbirium

[HIO3] = 0.00796 - 0.007585 = 0.000375 M

Ka = [H+][IO3-]/[HIO3]

Ka = (0.007585 *0.007585 )/(0.007585 )

Ka = 0.007585

choose B
