![3.Composition of acetic acid solution
For acetic acid in aqueous solution at 298 K the dissociation reaction is
CH3COOH(aq) + H20(l) = CH3C00 (aq) + H30*(aq)
With pka = 4.75.
To simplify calculations, denote a = [CH3COOH], b=[CH3COO] and x = [H3O*].
Consider a solution of total concentrationc = 0.1 M.
Use the two equations:
bx
аnd a + b %3D с
а
a.Solve for a as a function of Ka, c and x, then for b use b = c- a.
b.Write an equation the fractional population of the acid fa, in terms of K and x, by
substituting results of point a below:
fa =
www
а
||
%3D
a+b
Of course, fb = b/c = 1– fa.

C.Make an Excel plot of fa vs. pH and fb vs. pH.
Use this plot to explain the chemical meaning of the value of pka.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/7aba6a51-dfe7-492f-b3c0-bc77d87f7364/b5b54c02-e2d6-45d8-ab70-ddb4826ee1cb/hl1x2a_thumbnail.png)
