What is the pH of 1 M solution of acetic acid ? To what volume one litre of this solution be diluted so that pH of the resulting solution will be twice of the original value ? `(K_(a)=1.8xx10^(-5))`

Explanation

To find the pH of a 1 M solution of acetic acid and the volume to which it should be diluted to achieve a pH that is twice the original value, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the pH of 1 M acetic acid

1. **Write the dissociation equation for acetic acid:**
\[ \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \rightleftharpoons \text{H}^+ + \text{CH}_3\text{COO}^- \]
