When something is 2/3 dissociated, what do you put in the log for HH equation?

2/3 disassociated means that 2/3 of the acid has turned into its conjugate base and 1/3 of the original acid is left. So just plug in the values in the HH equation.

ph=pka + log [base/acid] = pka + log [(2/3)/(1/3)] = pka + log [2/1]
