Certain metal cations can act as Lewis acids in water to produce an acidic solution even though the metal ion contains no hydrogen ions at all. Water hydrates the ions in solution and the partial loss of electrons from the water allows a hydrogen ion to be lost. What is the [H3O+] of a 0.1969 M solution of Fe3+ ions, if it has a Ka of 3.5000e-3?
