Question

An acid with Ka = 3.5 × 10⁻⁶ is 0.30 M. Determine percent ionization

Expert Solution
Step 1 Determine the degree of dissociation

Ka = Ca/ ( 1 - a ) 

Where : a = degree of dissociation 

Assuming a <<< 1 

Ka = Ca

a = √ ( Ka / C ) 

a = √( 3.5 • 10^-6 / 0.30 )

a = √( 1.17 • 10^-5 )

a = 0.00342
