A mixture of weak acid is `0.1M` in `HCOOH (K_(a) = 1.8 xx 10^(-4))` and `0.1M` in `HOCN (K_(a) = 3.1 xx 10^(-4))`. Hence, `[H_(3)O^(o+)]` isA. `7.0 xx 10^(-3)M`B. `4.1 xx 10^(-4)M`C. `0.20M`D. `4.1 xx 10^(-3)M`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Use: `[H^(o+)]_("mix") = sqrt(Sigma K_(ai)C_(i))`
`=sqrt(1.8 xx 10^(-4)xx0.1+3.1xx10^(-4)xx0.1)`
`=sqrt(4.9xx10^(-5)) M = 7 xx 10^(-3)M`
