What is the percentage dissociation of $0.1 \mathrm{M}$ acetic acid? $\left(\mathrm{Ka}=10^{-5}\right)$

What is the percentage dissociation of $0.1 \mathrm{M}$ acetic acid? $\left(\mathrm{Ka}=10^{-5}\right)$
  1. $1 \%$
  2. $10 \%$
  3. $0.1 \%$
  4. $0.01 \%$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}}=\propto^2 \mathrm{C} \\ & 10^{-5}=\propto^2 \times 0.1 \\ & \propto=0.01 \text { or } 1 \%\end{aligned}$
