2. Calcitulation of pH and pOH for weak Acids and Baes
+
a. calculate H from a solution of weak acid
If a weak acid if formulated as HA. Its ionization in aqueous
solution can be represented by the following equation.
+
-
HA ⇌ H + A
(aq)
(aq)
(aq)
If we let x be the amount of HA that ionizes per liter, we can
construct the following concentration table.
At equilibrium the acid ionization constant can be represented by
the following equation
Because Ka of a weak acid is so small, x is also small. Therefore
since
