Question
Phenol, C6H5OH, is a weak organic acid:
C6H5OH(aq) = С6H5O¯(aq) + H+ (aq)
Although somewhat toxic to humans, it is
widely used as a disinfectant and in the
manufacture of plastics. What is the equilibrium
hydrogen ion concentration in a 0.16M acid
solution? What is the pH of the solution? Ka of
C6H5OH = 1.3 x 10-10
Kc 1.3 x 10-10-
