The first and second dissociation constants of an acid are and respectively. The overall dissociation constant of the acid will be
  1. (A)
  2. (B)
  3. (C)✓ Correct
  4. (D)

Answer: (C)

Solution

The overall dissociation is the sum of the two stepwise equilibria, so its constant is the product of the stepwise constants. Multiplying, . The overall dissociation constant is therefore .
