Given,
Molarity of weak acid (HA) = 0.270M
pH = 2.50
pKa = ?
We know that, dissociation equation for acid is
HA H+ + A-
Also,
pH = -log[H+]
So, first we will calculate the concentration of H+ using pH
Put the pH in above formula,
pH = -log[H+]
2.50 = -log[H+]
[H+] = 10-2.50
[H+] = 0.00316 M
Now, From the reaction above we can conclude that there is a 1:1 molar ratio between [H+] and [A¯].
So, Concentration of [A¯] is same as [H+]
[A¯] = 0.00316 M
Now, we know also know that,
pKa = pH + log10([conjugate acid]/[conjugate base])
pKa = pH + log10([HA]/[A-])
put all the known values,
pKa = 2.50 + log10(0.270/0.00316)
pKa = 2.50 + log10(85.44)
pKa = 2.50 + 1.932
pKa = 4.432
So, OPTION A (4.43) is Correct.
