- Calculate the pH for 1M HCN dissolved in water, and for 0.1M HCN dissolved in water. Is the acid most dissociated at high or at low pH?
- Relevant Equations
- .
So I calculated the pH for the two concentrations: pH=4.61 for the high concentration and pH=5.61 for the low concentration.
Regarding the dissociation: in the solution manual it is given that the acid is most dissociated at the higher pH than the lower pH, which to me seems strange intuitively! any good explanation of this?
