Hi,
I'm having trouble with my AP Chemistry Homework. The problem I'm stuck on is this:
Consider a solution that is made by dissolving 5.2 g of hydrogen iodide (HI) in 2.0 L of pure water at 25oC.
What is the hydronium ion concentration of this solution?
I've figured out the number of moles of HI, .0407, and its initial concentration is .0203 M. Then I constructed an equilibrium table and got the equation Ka = (x^2) / (.0203 - x). From here, though, I don't know how to proceed, as all of the example problems and other problems on the worksheet give the Ka or Kb for the reactant. Can anyone help explain how to solve this problem? Thanks.
