The [H + ] of a resulting solution that is 0.01 M acetic acid (K a = 1.8 x 10 -5 ) and 0.01 M in benzoic acid (K a = 6.3 x 10 -5 ) is
Options
- A9 x 10 -4
- B81 x 10 -4
- C9 x 10 -5
- D2.8 x 10 -3
Correct answer
A. 9 x 10 -4
Step-by-step solution
H + = k 1 C 1 + k 2 C 2 (for mixture of two weak acids) = 1.8 × 1 0 - 5 × 0.01 + 6.3 × 1 0 - 5 × 0.01 = 18 × 1 0 - 8 + 6 3 × 1 0 - 8 = 9 × 1 0 - 4
