The pH of the monoprotic weak acid is 2.79.

What are weak acids?

The weak acids are the acids that do not fully dissociate into ions in the solution. Strong acids fully dissociate into ions.

The chemical reaction is HA(aq) ⇄ A⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

c (monoprotic acid) = 0.33 M.

Ka = 1.2·10⁻⁶

[A⁻] = [H⁺] = x

[HA] = 0.33 M - x

Ka = [A⁻]·[H⁺] / [HA]

2. 6 × 10⁻⁶ = x² / (0.33 M - x)

Solve quadratic equation: [H⁺] = 0.000524 M.

pH = -log[H⁺]

pH = -log(0.000524 M)

pH = 2.79

Thus,  the pH of the monoprotic weak acid is 2.79
