Question

The charge balance equation of species in 0.100 M acetic acid solution is given by
A. `[H^(+)]=[OH^(-)]`
B. `[H^(+)]=[CH_(3)CO O^(-)]`
C. `[H^(+)]=[OH^(-)]+[CH_(3)CO O^(-)]`
D. `2 [H^(+)]=[OH^(-)]+[CH_(3)CO O^(-)]`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
Solution will contain `H^(+), CH_(3)CO O^(-) and OH^(-)` ions (from `H_(2)O`) . As solution as a whole is electrically neutral, `[H^(+)]=[OH^(-)]+ [CH_(3)CO O^(-)]`.
