Percent lonization
Percent ionization for a weak acid (HA) is determined by the following
formula:
Percent ionization =
HA ionized
x 100%
[HA] initial
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 K₂ value of 2.1x10-7.
Part A
Calculate the percent ionization of HA in a 0.10 M solution.
Express your answer as a percent using two significant figures.
