Steps to solve weak acid ionization problems: • Identify the major species that can affect the pH. • In most cases, you can ignore the autoionization of water. • Ignore [OH-] because it is determined by [H+]. • Use ICE to express the equilibrium concentrations in terms of single unknown x. • Write Kain terms of equilibrium concentrations. Solve for x by the approximation method. If approximation is not valid, solve for x exactly. • Calculate concentrations of all species and/or pH of the solution.
