    lonization constant of acetic acid is \[1.8\times {{10}^{-5}}.\] The concentration of \[{{H}^{+}}\] ions in 0.1 M solution is ;

    A) \[1.8\times {{10}^{-3}}M\]                          

    B) \[1.8\times {{10}^{-5}}M\]

    C) \[1.3\times {{10}^{-3}}M\]                          

    D) \[1.34\times {{10}^{-3}}M\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]ionise as follows : \[\underset{C(1-\alpha )}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOH}}\,\underset{C\alpha }{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C\alpha  \\  Final\,conc. \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}}}\,\] \[[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}]=C\alpha \] and \[\alpha =\sqrt{{{K}_{a}}/C}\] (for any weak electrolyte) or          \[[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}]=\sqrt{{{K}_{a}}.C}\] \[=\sqrt{1.8\times {{10}^{-5}}\times .1}=1.34\times {{10}^{-3}}M\]
