Answer:
to validate the law of conservation of mass as total no. of reactants must be equal to the total no. of products
Answer : The value of Ka for acetic acid is, 
Explanation :
The chemical formula of acetic acid is,
.
The chemical equilibrium reaction will be:

Given:
pH = 2.96
First we have to calculate the concentration of hydrogen ion.
![pH=-\log [H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
![2.96=-\log [H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2.96%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
![[H^+]=1.096\times 10^{-3}M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D1.096%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7DM)
That means,
![[H^+]=[CH_3COO^-]=1.096\times 10^{-3}M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D%5BCH_3COO%5E-%5D%3D1.096%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7DM)
![[CH_3COOH]=0.0602-(1.096\times 10^{-3})=0.0591M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BCH_3COOH%5D%3D0.0602-%281.096%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7D%29%3D0.0591M)
The expression for reaction is:
![K_a=\frac{[CH_3COO^-][H^+]}{[CH_3COOH]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BCH_3COO%5E-%5D%5BH%5E%2B%5D%7D%7B%5BCH_3COOH%5D%7D)


Thus, the value of Ka for acetic acid is, 
though alchemists were often superstitious, they left a rich legacy of modern chemists. what was their main contribution-
Explanation:
they were the first to preform experiments.
That element is manganese. As they are in same horizontal row (period) and are next to each other. That is why they show same properties.
Hope this helps xox :)
