The Ka of acetic acid, CH 3 COOH, is 1.8 10 5 . Calculate the pH

Question:

The Ka of acetic acid, CH3COOH, is 1.8 × 10–5. Calculate the pH of a 0.10 M acetic acid solution.

Strategy 

We begin as usual, by setting up an equilibrium table and determining the concentrations of all species. Once we know the concentration of H3O+, we can find the pH.
