Detailed Solution

CH3COOHC - Cα  ⇌  CH3COO-Cα  + H+Cα     where ‘C’ is the concentration of the acid and α is the degree of dissociation.Ka=Cα×CαC(1-α) As α is very small can be neglected in the denominator Ka=Cα2   Ka = 1.8 × 10-5= Cα2∴           1.8 × 10-5= C.0.012or        C=1.8 × 10-5  ×  104               =   1.8 × 10-1MH+ = Cα  or  H+ =1.8 × 10-1 × 0.01         =0.18 × 0.01=0.0018 M  or  1.8 ×  10-3  M
