Interpretation:
The equilibrium concentration of
Concept Information:
Acid ionization constant
Acids ionize in water. Strong acids ionize completely whereas weak acids ionize to some limited extent.
The degree to which a weak acid ionizes depends on the concentration of the acid and the equilibrium constant for the ionization.
The ionization of a weak acid
The equilibrium expression for the above reaction is given below.
Where,
Diprotic and polyprotic acids:
Acids having two or more hydrogen atoms are termed as diprotic or polyprotic acids. These acids lose one proton at a time by undergoing successive ionizations.
For diprotic acids, the successive ionization constants are designated as
For triprotic acids, the successive ionization constants are designated as
