Here is a 0.200 M solution of $ H_3C_6H_5O_7 $ (citric acid, $K_a$ $=$ $3.5 \cdot 10^{-4}$) Hydrolysis equilibrium: $H_3C_6H_5O_7$ $+$ $H_2O$ $H_3O^+$ $+$ $H_2C_6H_5O_7^-$ Identify the initial concentrations of the three species present at equilibrium (without $H_2O$):

a) 0.200M, 0M, 0.200M b) 0M, 0.200M, 0.200M c) 0.200M, 0M, 0M d) 0.200M, 0.200M, 0.200M
The correct answer is: Initial concentrations: c) 0.200M, 0M, 0M
