An aqueous solution contains $6\%$ and $4\%$ by weight of a weak acid $(HA)$ and urea respectively. If the depression in freezing point is $\frac{13.6}{3} \, ^{\circ}C$,calculate the $K_a$ of $HA$. [Given: $K_f = 1.8 \, K \, kg/mol$,Molecular weight of $HA = 60$,$d_{solution} = 1 \, g/mL$]

  • A
    $0.9$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{-5}$
  • C
    $4 \times 10^{-5}$
  • D
    $10^{-5}$
