a) 1.20M

formic acid Ka = 1.77 x 10^-4

ionisation% = sqrt(Ka/C)   x100

                = sqrt(1.77 x 10^-4/1.2) x100

                  = 1.21     x 10^-2 x100

                  = 1.21%

b)0.450M

ionisation% = sqrt(Ka/C)   x100

ionisation% = sqrt(1.77 x 10^-4/0.45) x100

                  = = 1.98%

                

c)0.130M

ionisation% = sqrt(1.77 x 10^-4/0.13) x100

                       = 3.68%

d)5.10 x 10^-2

ionisation% = sqrt(1.77 x 10^-4/5.10 x 10^-2) x100

                       = 5.89%
