Interactive tool for dissociation constant

🧪 Dissociation Constant (Ka) & Degree of Dissociation (α) Calculator

The dissociation of a weak acid (like CH₃COOH ⇌ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺) is incomplete, and its equilibrium can be studied using two important quantities:

• Degree of Dissociation (α): The fraction of acid molecules that dissociate in solution.
• Dissociation Constant (Ka): An equilibrium constant that quantifies how much the acid dissociates.

Ka = C × α²
α = √(Ka / C)

🧮 Interactive Calculator:

Enter Initial Concentration (mol/L): Enter Degree of Dissociation (α): OR Enter Ka to find α:

📘 How to Use This Tool:

If you know the initial concentration and the degree of dissociation, this tool will calculate the value of Ka using the formula:

Ka = C × α²

Conversely, if you know the value of Ka and the initial concentration, the tool will compute the degree of dissociation using:

α = √(Ka / C)

🔬 Real Example:

For 0.1 M acetic acid with a degree of dissociation of 0.042:

Ka = 0.1 × (0.042)² = 0.0001764 = 1.76 × 10⁻⁴
