(a)
Interpretation:
The fraction of acid ionized in
Concept Introduction:
A weak acid in water produces a hydrogen ion and conjugate base. When weak acid dissolves in water, some acid molecules transfer proton to water.
In solution of weak acid, the actual concentration of the acid molecules becomes less because partial dissociation of acid has occurred and lost protons to form hydrogen ions.
The reaction is as follows:
The reaction is as follows:
The expression for
For value of
The fraction ionized is equal to ratio of concentration of ionized acid to analytical concentration multiplied by 100.
