You need to use the Ka for the acetic acid and the equilibrium equation.
Ka = 1.85 * 10^ -5
Equilibrium reaction: CH3COOH (aq) ---> CH3COO(-) + H(+)
Ka = [CH3COO-][H+] / [CH3COOH]
Molar concentrations at equilibrium
CH3COOH CH3COO- H+
0.50 - x x x
Ka = x*x / (0.50 - x) = x^2 / (0.50 - x)
Given that Ka is << 1 => 0.50 >> x and 0.50 - x ≈ 0.50
=> Ka ≈ x^2 / 0.50
=> x^2 ≈ 0.50 * Ka = 0.50 * 1.85 * 10^ -5 = 0.925 * 10^ - 5 = 9.25 * 10 ^ - 6
=> x = √ [9.25 * 10^ -6] = 3.04 * 10^ -3 ≈ 0.0030
pH = - log [H+] = - log (x) = - log (0.0030) = 2.5
Answer: 2.5
Answer:
This bubbled-up magma is cooled by frigid seawater to form igneous rock. This rock (basalt) becomes a new part of Earth's crust. Seafloor spreading occurs along mid-ocean ridges—large mountain ranges rising from the ocean floor.

The phenomenon is known as the Greenhouse Effect.
When the sun's energy reaches the Earth, some is reflected into space, but the rest is absorbed by gases and warms the atmosphere. The phenomenon is known as the Greenhouse Effect.
