What is the [H2CO3], [HCO3-] and pH of a buffer solution which is composed of 25 mL of 0.05 M H2CO3 and 475 mL of 0.263 M NaHCO3? (Ka for H2CO3 = 4.2 x 10-7).
acidic ingredient in vinegar is acetic acid. The pH of vinegar is around 2.4, and the
molar concentration of acetic acid in vinegar is around 0.85 M. Based on this
information, determine the value of the acid ionization constant, Ka, for acetic acid
