How does a person determine the degree of deprotonation between an acid/base?

David A Kelly  Follow
yes, you can calculate α which is degree of dissociation and c is concentration. K is dissociation constant of given acid/base
K=α2*c /1-α

Thanks!

I was looking into this concept. It seems you can only calculate it based off known levels of ionized acid, before and after, in the solution?

Is it possible to calculate theoretical percent ionization based off of known pKa and pKb values?

Yep.  Called Percent Ionization :).  Its a Chemistry 2 Concept.
