Ionisation constant of CH3COOH is 1.7 10-5 and concentration of H+ ions is 3.4 10-4. Then find out initial concentration of CH3COOH molecules.
- 3.4 10-4
- 3.4 10-3
- 6.8 10-4
- 6.8 10-3
Answer
(4) 6.8 10-3
Solution
For a weak acid, [H+] = Ka C
⇒ C = [H+]2Ka
= (3.4 10-4)21.7 10-5
= 11.56 10-81.7 10-5
= 6.8 10-3
