Why does the percent ionization of acetic acid increase as the concentration of the solution decreases?
As you increase the concentration of the solution, the concentration of H+ does not change. Meaning, the concentration ionized does not change. Just the original concentration increases. Since percent ionization = (concentration ionized)/(original concentration) , and the original concentration is increased, the percent ionization therefore decreases.
