Recent questions

  • What is the Law of Mass Action?

    The Law of Mass Action states that the rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants, each raised to a power equal to the coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

  • What is Le Chatelier's principle?

    Le Chatelier's principle explains how a system at equilibrium responds to changes in temperature, pressure, or concentration by shifting the equilibrium to counteract the change.

  • What is the pH scale?

    The pH scale is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution, ranging from 0 (acidic) to 14 (basic), with 7 being neutral. pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.

  • What is a buffer solution?

    A buffer solution is a solution that resists changes in pH when an acid or base is added, maintaining the stability of the pH. It consists of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

  • What is the solubility product?

    The solubility product is the product of the concentrations of ions in a saturated solution of a salt, represented by KSP. It helps predict whether a precipitate will form in a solution based on the ionic product compared to the solubility product.

Degree of dissociation in weak acids

  • Degree of dissociation, also known as degree of ionization, denoted by alpha, signifies the fraction of total molecules dissociated into ions at a specific temperature.
