Question

CH_3COOH(aq) + H_2O(l) CH_3COO^-(aq) + H_3O^+(aq) PLEASE ANSWER QUESTIONS 1-4 BELOW Is the ionization of acetic acid a relatively complete reaction, or is it a partial one that represents an equilibrium? What general pattern do you observe in the concentration of acetic acid versus pH? Compare the relationship among the three values ([H+], [C2H3O2-], [HC2H3O2]) for each initial concentration of acetic acid. Try different mathematical operations to see if you can find a(numerical) pattern to explain your observations (multiply, divide, etc.). You can try multiplying all three or a combination of multiplying and dividing (i.e., dividing one by the product of the other two, etc.). Do these data give a constant or numbers having the same or nearly the same

Explanation / Answer

1. The ionization of acetic acid (a weak acid) is partially complete. When a state is reached at which the concentration of acetic acid, acetate and hydronium ion do not change with time, that state is called an equilibrium.
