Find Degree of ionisation and comment on strength (1 Viewer)

[enigma_1]

Acid has concentration of 0.15M and ph=2.7, find DEGre of ionisation.
I got 1.3%, and I reckon it's a weak acid, cause it doesn't ionise 100% but the ph is so low so shouldn't it be strong acid?

goodpoint yea same i was wondering as well on that anyone who can help???

Your answer is right, i got 1.33%, dont think that there is an imaginary line between something like 1ph and 2ph which determines the strength of an acid, the strength of an acid is purely whether or not it ionises 100% in water or not, idk if it was just me but i did a prac a few days ago where my citric acid had a pH of 2.5 so yeah.
