Acetic acid is a weak acid. List in order of descending concentration all of the ionic and molecular species present in 1M aqueous solution of acetic acid.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Acetic acid ionises in water as
`CH_(3)COOH(l)+H_(2)O(l)hArrCH_(3)COO_((aq))^(-)+H_(3)O_((aq))^(+)`
Since acetic acid is weak electrolyte, it ionises to a lesser extent. So the concentration of the ionic and molecular species present in 1M aqueous solution of acetic acid will be in the order
`[H_(2)O]gt[CH_(3)COOH]gt[H_(3)O^(+)]=[CH_(3)COO^(-)]gtOH^(-)`
