Explanation / Answer

Question 19.

Solution of acid = 0.2 M

pH = 2

for dissociation %:

The formula we need is

% dissociation = [A-]/M * 100%

where [A-] = dissociated acid in equilibrium

M = initial concnetration of acid

then

[H+] = 10 ^ -pH = 10 ^-2 = 0.01

note that in equilbirium

[A-] = [H+] = 0.01

so

we can now substitute in equation

%dissociation = 0.01/0.2 * 100 = 5%

best answer is D

5%
