        HA ==> H+ + A-
        So %-ionization = [H+]/[HA] x 100%
        Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA] = 3.2 x 10^-7
        Let [H+] = x. Then [A-] = x and [HA] = 0.10 – x.
        But x is so small .
        So that we can neglect and we can say that [HA] = 0.10.
        Ka = (x)(x)/(0.10) = 3.2 x 10^-7
        X^2 = 3.2 x 10^-8, so x = 1.8 x 10^-4 = [H+]
        %-Ionization = (1.8×10^-4)/(0.10) x 100%
        = 0.18%
