Vedclass · Answer

(B) Acetic acid $(CH_3COOH)$ is a weak acid and does not dissociate completely in water.
For a strong acid with a concentration of $0.001 \ M$ $(10^{-3} \ M)$,the $pH$ would be $-\log(10^{-3}) = 3$.
Since acetic acid is a weak acid,its degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ is very small,meaning the concentration of $H^{+}$ ions will be much less than $0.001 \ M$.
Therefore,the $pH$ will be greater than $3$ $(pH > 3)$.

The $pH$ of $0.001 \ M$ acetic acid is $.......$
