percent ionization anyone?
« on: November 18, 2005, 01:33:05 AM »
i just did a bunch of problems with percent ionization. but does anyone know how to do a question where they say what would the concentration of acrylic acid be 40% ionized or something similar? where the percent is given. they just say that when the ionization increases theres a decrese in concentration of acid

Look at number 1 in my signature.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

use the Ka of acrylic acid to use[conjugated base]/[acid] = 0,4

--> Ka = 0,4 * [H3O(+)]
