Write the expression for Ka for the ionization of acetic acid in water.

DrBob222 · Answer

CH3COOH ==> CH3COO^- + H^+ Ka = (H^+)(CH3COO^-)/(CH3COOH)

Sarah · Answer

When I calculate the percent difference between your value for Ka and the accepted value, what could be two sources of error that might account for any differences?

DrBob222 · Answer

I'm sorry but I don't understand the question. I didn't give you a value for Ka so how can there be a difference? I gave you the Ka expression but not a value for Ka.
