Chapter 6, Problem 6.7YT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In Figure $\text{6-1}$, a plot of percent dissociation of an acid with pKa = 9 as a function of pH is to be sketched.

Concept introduction:

In the graphical representation sketch, percent dissociation of an acid is on the Y-axis while pH is on the X-axis. An acid (HA) dissolved in water dissociates 50% (into its conjugate base) when the solution’s pH is equal to the acid’s pKa.
