Start with 100.00 mL of 0.10 M acetic acid, CH3COOH. The solution has a pH of 2.87 at 25 oC. a) Calculate the Ka of acetic acid at 25 oC. b) Determine the percent dissociation for the solution.

a) The of acetic acid at is

b) The percent dissociation for the solution is

Explanation:

 cM              0             0

So dissociation constant will be:

Give c= 0.10 M and = ?

Also

Putting in the values we get:

b)  

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
