Answer:

69.3%

Explanation:

The question should read as follows:

A weak acid, HA, has a pKa of 4.357. If a solution of this acid has a pH of 4.005, what percentage of the acid is not ionized? Assume all H⁺ in the solution came from the ionization of HA.

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates the pKa and pH of a solution to the ratio of ionized (A⁻) and unionized (HA) forms of a weak acid:

pH = pKa + log ([A⁻]/[HA])

Substituting and solving for [A⁻]/[HA]:

4.005 = 4.3574 = log([A⁻]/[HA])

-0.3524 = log([A⁻]/[HA])

[A⁻]/[HA] = 0.444/1

The percentage of acid that is not ionized (i.e. the percentage of acid in the HA form) is calculated:

[HA]/([A⁻] + [HA]) x 100% = 1/(1+0.444) x 100% = 69.3%

After developing your hypothesis, the next step in the inquiry process is to design a controlled experiment in order to test you
Roman55 [17]
For your experiment, you would need to see decide what your hypothesis is before you design the experiment. If you want to see if the volume of gas changes depending on the container it's in, then you need to set it up depending on what you want to do with the volume.
The manipulated variable would be whatever you change, so if you switch container sizes, that would be the manipulated variable and the responding variable would be the volume of the gas.

I hope this helps!
