4. If a weak monoprotic acid is 3.8 percent ionized in a 0.

2F solution, calculate its

ionization constant. What is the percentage ionization of this acid in a 0.01F

solution?

Given: % ionization = 3.8% [HA] = 0.2 F

Reqd: Ka

Soln:

HA + H20 = H30+ + OH-


I 0.2 F 0 0
C -0.2(0.038) +0.2(0.038) +0.2(0.038)
E 0.1924 0.0076 0.0076

Ka=¿ ¿
[ 0.0076 ] [0.0076]
Ka = [0.1924]

Ka= 3.002079×10−4

What is the percentage ionization of this acid in a 0.01F
