Document Summary

If we have two solutes each containing the same ion, the equilibrium is affected. Consider adding acetic acid (ch3cooh) and sodium acetate (nach3coo) to water. The acetate anion from sodium acetate will inhibit acetic acid from dissociating (le chatelier). First consider the situation with only acetic acid, at 0. 10 m. X = 1. 34 10 3 which means the ph = 2. 87 and the % ionization = 1. 34% Next, consider adding 0. 050 moles of sodium acetate to 1. 00 l of our acetic acid solution (assume volume does not change). Equilibrium (note: the equilibrium must shift to the left from le chatelier) 1. 34 x 10 3 - x 5. 134 x 10 2 -x. This gives [h+] = 3. 5 x 10 5 (using the quadratic equation) which means the ph = 4. 46 and the % ionization = 0. 035% Comment: the last calculation was hard because we had to use the quadratic equation.
