The ionization constant of a monobasic acid $HA$ is to be determined. If a $0.025 \ m$ aqueous solution of the acid freezes at $-0.060 \ ^{\circ}C$,calculate the ionization constant $K_a$. (Assume molality = molarity and $K_f(H_2O) = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$).

  • A
    $3 \times 10^{-3}$
  • B
    $4 \times 10^{-2}$
  • C
    $6 \times 10^{-4}$
  • D
    $5 \times 10^{-5}$
