Question

Acetic acid is a weak acid that dissociates into the acetate ion and a proton in aqueous solution:

 

               HC2H3O2 (aq) --><--  C2H3O2- (aq)  +  H+ (aq) 

 

At equilibrium at 25 °C a 0.100 M solution of acetic acid has the following concentrations:
[HC2H3O2] = 0.0990 M, [C2H3O2-] = 1.33 × 10-3 M and [H+] = 1.33 × 10-3 M. The equilibrium constant, Keq, for the ionization of acetic acid at 25 °C is ________.
