Calculate the percent ionization and the expected intial pH for the 0.10 M acetic acid solution

Solutions

Expert Solution


        CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l) <-----> CH3COO^-(aq) + H3O^+(aq)

initial 0.1 M                           0 M          0 M

change     x                              x            x

equilibrium 0.1-x M                       x            x

Ka = [CH3COO-][H3O+]/[CH3COOH]

ka of acetic acid = 1.8*10^-5

1.8*10^-5 = X^2/(0.1-X)

X = 0.00133

So that,

at equilibrium

[H3O+] = X = 0.00133 M

pH = -log(H3O+)

   = -log0.00133

    = 2.876

Ka = CX^2

X = degree of dissociation = ?

C = inital concentration = 0.1 M

(1.8*10^-5) = 0.1*x^2

x = 0.0134

percentage dissociation = x*100

                 = 0.0134*100

                = 1.34%

In the solution containing both 0.10 M acetic acid and 0.10 M sodium acetate, the acetic acid undergoes ionization. The chemical equation for this ionization reaction is the same as for a solution containing acetic acid alone. The difference is that the initial concentration of acetate ion (before any ionization reaction occurs) for the solution containing acetic acid alone is zero, whereas the initial concentration of acetate ion is 0.10 M in your solution containing both acetic acid and sodium...
