Answer:

2.16 × 10⁻³

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Concentration of the acid (Ca): 0.260 M

Acid dissociation constant (Ka): 1.80 × 10⁻⁵

Step 2: Write the acid dissociation equation

HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₂H₃O₂⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of H₃O⁺ at equilibrium

We will use the following expression.

[tex][H_3O^{+} ]= \sqrt{Ka \times Ca } = \sqrt{1.80 \times 10^{-5} \times 0.260 } = 2.16 \times 10^{-3}[/tex]
