What is the percentage ionization of 0.10 M HC2H3O2?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Let α be the dissociation of the weak acid
                            HA <---> H + + A-

initial conc.            c               0         0

change                -cα            +cα      +cα

Equb. conc.         c(1-α)          cα    cα

Dissociation constant , Ka = cα x cα / ( c(1-α)

                                         = c α2 / (1-α)

In the case of weak acids α is very small so 1-α is taken as 1

So Ka = cα2

==> α = √ ( Ka / c )

Given Ka = 1.8x10-5

          c = concentration = 0.10 M

Plug the values we get α = 0.0134

∴ % dissociation = 0.0134 x 100 = 1.34
