Calculate the fraction of acetic acid that is in the dissociated form in his solution. Express your answer as a percentage. You will probably find some useful data in the ALEKS Data resource. acetic acid

0.11%

Explanation:

Without mincing words, let us dive straight into the solution to the question/problem. The first step to solve this question is to write out the chemical reaction, that is the reaction showing the dissociation of acetic acid.

CH3COOH <> CH3COO⁻ + H⁺

Initially, the amount present in the acetic acid which is = 12M, the concentration for CH3COO⁻  and H⁺ is 0 respectively.

At equilibrium, the amount present in the acetic acid which is = 12 - x, the concentration for CH3COO⁻ = x  and H⁺ = x respectively. Note that the ka for acetic acid = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵.

1.8 × 10⁻⁵ = x²/ 14 - x. Therefore, x = 0.0158 M.

The next thing to do is to calculate for the percentage of dissociation, this can be done as given below:

percentage of dissociation = x/14 × 100. Recall that the value that we got for x = 0.0158 M. Hence, the percentage of dissociation = 0.0158 M/ 14m × 100 = 0.11%
