Percent ionization for a weak acid (HA) is determined by the following formula:
Percent ionization=[HA] ionized[HA] initial×100%
For strong acids, ionization is nearly complete (100%) at most concentrations. However, for weak acids, the percent ionization changes significantly with concentration. The more diluted the acid is, the greater percent ionization.
A certain weak acid, HA, has a Ka value of 9.4×10?7.
Part A
Calculate the percent ionization of HA in a 0.10 M solution.
Part B
