Calculate the % ionizations of hydrofluoric acid having the following concentrations. 60M HF 0046M HF 00028M HF You may use the x is small approximation in each case. Ka = 7.1 x 10-4 Comment on the validity of the x is small approximation in each case and comment on the trend.
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.
Calculate the % ionizations of hydrofluoric acid having the following concentrations.
- 60M HF
- 0046M HF
- 00028M HF
You may use the x is small approximation in each case. Ka = 7.1 x 10-4

Ionization means dissociation of substance into ions.
Strong electrolytes dissociates completely in solution. Example NaCl is strong electrolyte.
Ka is the acid dissociation constant.
Higher the acid dissociation constant, higher will be acidic nature.
