PH problem???

The pH of an acid solution should decrease with concentration. Given that K(f) for acetic acid is 1.76E-5, find the pH of HAc and HCl solutions of concentration:

a) 0.00010 M
b) 0.0010 M

Answer:
CH3COOH <> CH3COO- + H+
initial conc
0.00010
at eq.
0.00010 -x . . . . . .. . x . .. . . . . x

Ka = 1.76 x 10^-5 = x^2 / 0.00010-x

x = 0.0000419

pH = - log 0.000419 = 4.38

in the same way pH of acetic acid 0.0010 M = 3.87


HCl >> H+ + Cl-

pH = - log 0.00010 = 4

pH = - log 0.0010 = 3
