a) = 0.704%

b) = 1.30%

c) = 2.60%

Explanation:

Given that:

K_a = $1.34*10^{-5$

For Part A; where Concentration of A = 0.270 M

Percentage Ionization(∝) $\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{K_a}{C} }$

$\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{1.34*10^{-5}}{0.270} }$

$\alpha = \sqrt{4.9629*10^{-5}}$

$\alpha = 7.044*10^{-3$

percentage% (∝) = $7.044*10^{-3}*100$

= 0.704%

For Part B; where Concentration of B = $7.84*10^{-2$ M

$\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{1.34*10^{-5}}{7.84*10^{-2}} }$

$\alpha = \sqrt{1.709*10^{-4} }$

$\alpha = 0.0130\\$

percentage% (∝) = 0.0130 × 100%

= 1.30%

For Part C; where Concentration of C= $1.92*10^{-2} M$

$\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{1.34*10^{-5}}{1.97*10^{-2}} }$

$\alpha = \sqrt{6.802*10^{-4}}$

$\alpha =0.02608$

percentage% (∝) = 0.02608 × 100%

= 2.60%
