Detailed Solution
CH3COOHC - Cα ⇌ CH3COO-Cα + H+CαLet the concentration of acetic acid be ‘C’.Ka= 1.8 × 10-5 = Cα.CαC1-α = Cα2Now α2 = KaC or α =KaC or Cα = Ka.CCα = H+ = 3.5 × 10-4M∴ 3.5 × 10-4= 1.8 × 10-5COr C = 3.5 × 10-41.8 × 10-5C = 3.5 × 10-421.8 × 10-5 = 12.25 × 10-81.8 × 10-5 = 6.80 × 10-3M
