0 2 0 2 . 1This question is about acidic solutions. The acid dissociation constant, Ka, for ethanoic acid is given by the expression Ka = [CH COO 3 [CH 3 [H ] COOH] The value of Ka for ethanoic acid is 1.74105 mol dm3 at 25 C A buffer solution with a pH of 3.87 was prepared using ethanoic acid and sodium ethanoate. In the buffer solution, the concentration of ethanoate ions was 0.136 mol dm3 Calculate the concentration of the ethanoic acid in the buffer solution. Give your answer to three significant figures.
