How do you calculate percent ionization from pH?
You can calculate the percentage of ionization of an acid given its pH in the following way:
- Step 1: Convert pH to [H+] pH is defined as -log [H+], where [H+] is the concentration of protons in solution in moles per liter, i.e., its molarity.
- Step 2: Determine [HA]
- Step 3: Calculate the Percent Ionization.
What is percentage ionisation?
Percent ionization is defined as the amount of a weak acid that exists as ions at a particular concentration. This is calculated using the formula below and is calculated for the problem above. This weak acid has less than 2% of its molecules ionized in a 0.2M solution.
How do you write an ionization equation?

What is the percent ionization of the base?
For strong acids and bases, the percent ionization is 100%.
