What is [H⁺] in a 0.330 M solution of acrylic acid, CH₂CHCOOH (Ka = 3.16 × 10⁻⁵)?

[H⁺] = 3.23x10⁻³ M

Explanation:

For a weak monoprotic acid, such as acrylic acid, we can calculate [H⁺] using the following formula if the solution concentration is significantly higher than the Ka:

Where C is the weak acid concentration.

We input the data:

And solve for [H⁺]:

a chemical reaction happens

explanation:

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
