Question
The acid dissociation constant, \( K_a \), of trimethylacetic acid \((\text{HC(CH}_3\text{)}_3\text{CO}_2)\) is \( 9.33 \times 10^{-6} \).

Calculate the pH of a 1.1 M solution of trimethylacetic acid. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.

\[ \text{pH} = \text{[input box]} \]

There is an input box for entering the pH value, along with an "X" button, presumably to clear the entry, and a refresh button to reset the question or input.
