Interpretation:
The ICE table and the equation needed to solve for the concentration of the hydrogen ion for
Concept Introduction:
A weak acid in water produces a hydrogen ion and conjugate base. When weak acid dissolves in water, some acid molecules transfer proton to water.
In solution of weak acid, the actual concentration of the acid molecules becomes less because partial dissociation of acid has occurred and lost protons to form hydrogen ions.
The reaction is as follows:
