Answer to Question #126919 in General Chemistry for Lauren Khan

Question

Calculate the percent ionization in a 2.30 x 10^-2 M solution of hypochlorus acid.

Answer 1

The ionization constant of the acid is 

2.5×10^-5.

percentage ionisation of Weak Acid = ( ionisation constant / concemtration )^1/2 * 100 .

PERCENTAGE IONISATION OF  a 2.30 x 10^-2 M solution of hypochlorus acid. =

( 2.5×10^-5 /  2.30 x 10^-2 )^1/2 * 100 ..

=0.32 * 10^-1 * 100 = 3.2 % Answer .
