I keep getting the answer wrong due to sig figs and its really pissing me off because i know how to do this but keep gettting wrong number. MASTERCHEMISTRY

Explanation / Answer

part D

Ka = cx^2

C = concentration of acid = 0.14 M

x = degree of dissociation = ?

1*10^-3 = 0.14*x^2

x = 0.0845

percentage dissociation = x*100

           = 0.0845*100 = 8.45%

part E

pH of weakacid = 1/2(pka-logC)

    pka = -logka = -log0.18 = 0.745

                = 1/2(0.745-log0.14)

                = 0.8

in this part please check Ka = 0.18 is correct or not
