Question

What are the algebraic steps to isolate [H+] so I can solve for it with given variables?

The image shows a chemical equation related to acid-base chemistry. The formula is expressed as:

\[ C_T = [H^+] \left( 1 + \frac{[H^+]}{K_a} \right) \]

Below the equation, two values are provided:

- \( C_T = 9.5 \times 10^{-5} \)
- \( K_a = 10^{-7.6} \)

The unknown in the equation is:

\[ [H^+] = ? \]

This equation is used to find the concentration of hydrogen ions \([H^+]\) in a solution. It relates the total concentration of the acid \(C_T\), the hydrogen ion concentration \([H^+]\), and the acid dissociation constant \(K_a\).
