Weak Acid and Base Equilibria

AP Chemistry· difficulty 4/5

The pH of a 0.10 M acetic acid solution (Ka=1.8×105K_a = 1.8 \times 10^{-5}) is approximately

  • A

    1.001.00

  • B

    2.872.87

    check_circle
  • C

    4.744.74

  • D

    5.745.74

Explanation

[H⁺] ≈ √(Ka·C) = √(1.8e-5 · 0.10) = √1.8e-6 ≈ 1.34e-3. pH ≈ -log(1.34e-3) ≈ 2.87.
