Chloroacetic acid, HC,H, CIO2, has a greater acid strength than acetic acid because the electronegative chlorine atom pulls electrons away from the O-H bond and thus weakens it. Calculate the hydronium ion concentration and the pH of a 3.00 x 10- M solution of chloroacetic acid. K, is 1.3 x 10. [HO*]=| M pH

Question
Chloroacetic acid, HC,H, C10,, has a greater acid strength than acetic acid because the
electronegative chlorine atom pulls electrons away from the O-H bond and thus weakens
it. Calculate the hydronium ion concentration and the pH of a 3.00 x 10-8 M solution of
chloroacetic acid. K, is 1.3 x 10-.
