Answer:

The percent ionization of a weak acid increases with K, a. True b. False

Step-by-step explanation:

weak acid:

Ka = [H+][A-] / [HA]...... (1)

PI = ([H+] /[HA])*100...... (2)

⇒ (1) into (2):

PI = (Ka*[A-])*100....... (3)

from equation (3) we observe that if k increases the percentage of ionization (PI), therefore for a weak acid, the answer is.......a. true
