Josie Adkins · Answer 1

Solution A has the higher percent ionization and the higher pH

Maritza Johnston · Answer 2

Solution A has the higher percent ionization and the higher pH.

Explanation:

Percent ionization depends on the concentration of acid in a solution. If the solution having more concentration of acid so the percent ionization will be lower while if the solution have low amount of acid i. e. dilute solution so the percent ionization will be higher. In solution A, the concentration of HNO2 is lower which is an acid so the percent ionization is higher and the pH of the solution is also higher as compared to solution B.
