Question:

Monochloroacetic acid \(\left(\mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{ClO}_{2}ight)\) is a skin irritant that is used in "chemical peels" intended to remove the top layer of dead skin from the face and ultimately improve the complexion. The value of \(K_{\mathrm{a}}\) for monochloroacetic acid is \(1.35 \times 10^{-3}\). Calculate the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of a \(0.10 \mathrm{M}\) solution of monochloroacetic acid.
