Question
The Ka of a monoprotic weak acid is 7.25 × 10-3. What is the percent ionization of a 0.167 M solution of this acid?
If the concentration is more than 1000 times greater than the Ka, then you can make an assumption that simplifies the algebra needed to solve the problem. Otherwise, you need to solve a quadratic equation.
