Question: Calculate the percent ionization as a function of the initial acid concentration for any case to confirm what you found in EC1. That is, use

Calculate the percent ionization as a function of the initial acid concentration for any case to confirm what you found in EC1. That is, use variables to represent the initial concentration and Ka and solve for percent ionization.

Weak Acid
Concentration, M pH Ka
0.100 2.87 1.84x10-5
0.0100 3.42 1.50x10-5
0.00100 4.13 2.12x10-3

Calculate the percent ionization as a function of the initial acid concentration

- % ionization = [HA] - 1.36x10** *100 = 1.36% -3 Reaction 10.100m [H3O+][A-] kaz CHAT x - 3 1.84x165 **= 1.36x10 = [H307] M = 0.100 [H30t] xloo - 0.100 Reaction 2 zo.0100m 1.50x10-5- = 0.01oo X= 3.87*10^4 = [H207 = Toimization - 3.87x10-4 exloc 0.0100 = 3.87% Reaction 3 ao.coloom x - - 2.12x 10-3=0.00100 7x = 1.46 X10*3 = [H30+] lo = % jonization = 1.46 x 10-3 xfoo = 146% Trend of % ionization is Reaction 37 Reaction 27 Reaction / 0.00100
