Question

In one litre of 0.1 M acetic solution, one millimole of HCl is added. The pH of the solution is:
(Ka(CH3COOH)=2×105) (log 2 = 0.3, log 3 = 0.5, log 5 = 0.7)

Solution

CH3COOHKa=2×105CH3COO+H+

0.1M 0103M0.1Mx x(103+x) M
Ka=2×105=x(103+x)0.1x
if we neglect x wrt to 103 then, x=2×103
So x is not negligible wrt to 103 but it is negligible wrt to 0.1
2×105=x(103+x)0.1x=103M
[H+]=103+103=2×103pH=2.7
