The ph of a 1.4m solution of acetic acid (hch3co2) is measured to be 2.30. calculate the acid dissociation constant of acetic acid. round your answer to significant digits.

Ka = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Acetic acid is a weak acid that dissociates according to the following equation.

HCH₃CO₂(aq) ⇄ CH₃CO₂⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The concentration of the acid is Ca = 1.4 M.

The pH is 2.30. The concentration of H⁺ is:

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = anti log (-pH) = anti log (-2.30) = 5.01 × 10⁻³ M

We can find the acid dissociation constant (Ka) using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

Ka = [H⁺]²/Ca

Ka = (5.01 × 10⁻³)²/1.4

Ka = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵

they all get energy from eating other animals, dead animals to be more precise.

hienas tends to steal pray from other animals. crows and vultures tend to eat dead animals and leftovers.
