Question

The pK of acetic acid is pK = 4.76. For a 0.1 M solution of acetic acid at a pH = 4.76 what is the concentration of [H+]?

Answer 1

[H+] = 1.74 x 10⁻⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition pH = -log [H+]

Therefore, given the pH, all we have to do is solve algebraically for [H+] :

[H+] = antilog ( -pH ) = 10^-4.76 = 1.74 x 10⁻⁵
