Final answer:

Only a small fraction of the acetic acid molecules will ionize into ions in the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

When 6g of acetic acid (CH3COOH) is dissolved in 1000 cm3 of solution, the number of molecules that ionize out of 1000 acetic acid molecules can be determined by considering the percent ionization of acetic acid. For a 0.100-M solution of acetic acid, the percent ionization is typically less than 10%. This means that only a small fraction of the acetic acid molecules will ionize into ions in the solution.
