The pKa of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA, shown above) is 0.23. Roughly what percentage of the molecules of trifluoroacetic acid have been deprotonated into trifluoroacetate at a pH of 1.00? Would you expect more or less trifluoroacetate at a pH of 2.00? Show all math for partial/full credit.

The pH of a 0.15 M solution of pentafluorobenzoic acid (C6F5COOH) is measured to be 1.27. Use this information to determine a value of Ka for pentafluorobenzoic acid. C6F5COOH(aq) + H2O(l) → C6F5COO-(aq) + H3O+(aq) Ka =
