What is `[H^(+)]` in `mol//L` of a solution that is `0.20 M` in `CH_(3)COONa` and `0.1 M` in `CH_(3)COOH`? `K_(a)` for `CH_(3)COOH` is `1.8xx10^(-5)`?

Options

A. `3.5xx10^(-4)`
B. `1.1xx10^(-5)`
C. `1.8xx10^(-5)`
D. `9.0xx10^(-6)`

Answer

D

Explanation

For acidic buffer solution
`[H^(+)]=(ka[CH_(3)COOH])/([CH_(3)COO^(-)])`
`=(1.8xx10^(-5)xx0.10)/(0.20)=9xx10^(-6)M`
