The fraction of acetic acid that is dissociated is 0.18
Why?
The chemical equation for the dissociation of acetic acid (HAc) is the following:
HAc(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + Ac⁻(aq)
To find the fraction of acetic acid that is in the dissociated form (f), we apply the following equation (Ka for acetic acid is 1.76*10⁻⁵). This equation comes from solving the equation of the equilibrium constant for the dissociated fraction of HAc:
[tex]f=\frac{-Ka+\sqrt{Ka^{2} +4KaC} }{2C} = 0.18[/tex]
