Question

When red wine is fermented with bacteria, the result is red wine vinegar!
Fermentation converts the Ethanol in the wine to Acetic Acid, CH 3 COOH. If the pH
of a CH 3 COOH/CH 3 COONa solution is 5.00 and the acid ionization constant is 1.8 x
10 -5 , what is the ratio of molarities for the (conjugate base/weak acid)?
hint: start with the HH Equation
