What fraction of a 0.5 m acetic acid solution will be in the protonated form at ph 5.1? the pka of acetic acid is 4.8?

The acetic acid will dissociate as

                     We will use Hendersen Hassalbalch's equation here

pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]

Where

[Acid] = concentration of protonated form

5.1 = 4.8 + log [salt] / [acid]

1.99=  [salt] / [acid]

[salt] +[acid] = 0.5

1.99 [acid] + [acid] = 0.5

[acid] = 0.167 M

[acid] / total concentration  = 0.167 / 0.5 = 0.33.4

So percentage = 33.4 % or approx 33 %

answer: the primary difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that b hypothesis is falsifiable, but a theory has been proven to be correct. theory is an explanation of something that is happening but hypothesis is a guess of something that can happen
