Q16 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (06 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry

For a concentrated solution of a weak electrolyte (Keq=equilibrium constant) A2B3 of concentration ‘C’, the degree of dissociation ‘α’ is

  • A
    Keq5c415
  • Correct answer
    B
    Keq108c415
  • C
    Keq25c215
  • D
    Keq6c515

Solution

Given that concentration of A2B3 is C and degree of dissociation is α

The equilibrium reaction of weak electrolyte A2B3 is

A2 B3⇌2 A3++3 B2-C--↓↓↓C(1-α)2Cα3Cα

Now, The equilibrium constant is the ratio of the concentrations of reactants and products raised to the stoichiometric coefficients.

Keq=(2Cα)2(3Cα)3C(1-α)=108C4α5

Keq108C4=α5⇒α=Keq108C415

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
