Answer:
The correct answer is: 1.035 x 10⁻³ M
Explanation:
The dissociation equilibrium for acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is the following:
CH₃COOH(aq) ↔ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) Kc = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵
The expression for the equilibrium constant (Kc) is the ratio of concentrations of products over reactants. The products are acetate ion (CH₃COO⁻) and hydrogen ion (H⁺) while the reactant is acetic acid (CH₃COOH):
Given: [CH₃COOH]= 0.016 M and [CH₃COO⁻]= 0.92 M, we replace the concentrations in the equilibrium expression and we calculate [H⁺]:
⇒[H⁺]= (1.8 x 10⁻⁵)(0.92 M)/(0.016 M)= 1.035 x 10⁻³ M
