Distilled white vinegar is used for cooking but can also be used in many applications for cleaning. The active ingredient in vinegar is acetic acid (, ). If a brand of household vinegar produces a pH of 3.5, what is the initial molar concentration of acetic acid (assuming it is the only substance contributing to pH)

5.7 × 10⁻³ M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

pH of the solution: 3.5

Ka of acetic acid: 1.8 × 10⁻⁵

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -3.5 = 3.2 × 10⁻⁴

Step 3: Calculate the initial molar concentration of acetic acid (Ca)

Acetic acid is a weak acid. We can calculate its initial concentration using the following expression.

Ca = [H⁺]²/Ka

Ca = (3.2 × 10⁻⁴)²/1.8 × 10⁻⁵

Ca = 5.7 × 10⁻³ M

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary

answer: i have one answer

acids are substances that ionize (break off) in an aqueous solution to produce hydrogen (h+) ions

explanation:

hope this and sorry i could only come up with one answer!
