The dissociation of acetic acid, CH3COOH, has an equilibrium constant at 25 degrees celsius of 1.8 x 10-5. CH3COOH(aq) ⇋ CH3COO-(aq) + H+(aq) If the equilibrium concentration of CH3COOH is 0.46 moles in 0.500 L of water and that of CH3COO is 8.1 x 10-3 moles in the same 0.500 L, calculate the concentration of H + for the reaction.
