Answer:
1.3×10⁻³ M
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the dissociation reaction of acetic acid:
We can write the law of mass action for it:
Of course, excluding the water as heterogeneous substances are not included. Then, in terms of the change due to the dissociation extent, we are able to rewrite it as shown below:
Thus, via the quadratic equation or solve, we obtain the following solutions:
Obviously, the solution is 0.00133M which match with the hydronium concentration, thus, answer is: 1.3×10⁻³ M in scientific notation.
Regards.
