Question

A "5% acidity" bottle of vinegar is approx. 0.875 M in acetic acid (Ka = 1.8x10^-5)....

A "5% acidity" bottle of vinegar is approx. 0.875 M in acetic acid (Ka = 1.8x10^-5).

a) Determine the approx. pH and percent ionization of acetic acid in this solution.

b) Some health experts recommend adding 1 tablespoon (1 ounce) of vinegar to 1 cup of water (a total of 8 ounces). Calculate the approx. pH and percent ionization of acetic acid in this solution.

c) How many mL of 0.10 M sodium acetate would be needed to make the pH of the solution in part b equal to the pKa of acetic acid? Note: 1 cup is approx. 236.6 mL.

d) What would be the pH of the solution in part c after adding 1.0 mL of 0.10M NaOH?

Please show all work!! Thank you!!
