What is the pH of a weak acid that is 0.2% ionized in a 0.2 M solution?

pH=3.40

Explanation:

For this question, we can start with the general ionization reaction of a general acid:

The acids can produce the hydronium ion (). If we can to calculate the pH we have to use the equation:

So, if we want to calculate the pH value we have to know the concentration of the hydronium ion. For this, we can check the percentage of ionization. If we have 0.2 % of ionization, we will have only  0.2 % of hydronium ions from the initial concentration. In other words, we can calculate the concentration of , if we do the 0.2% of the initial concentration, so:

With the concentration we can calculate the pH:

The pH value is 3.40

I hope it helps!

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
