Question
I JUST GOT an answer, but i think it is wrong, in the answer you write:
 

0.233 mol/0.1 L = 0.0233 M

But I get 2.33 !! that will change the pH.

Please give me my question back if the previous answer was wrong.

 
 
Step 1

Given that, 

Percentage of acetic acid solution = 14%

It means, 14 g of acetic acid dissolved in 100 g or 100 mL of water. 

Moles of acetic acid in 14 g = 14 g/60.052 g/mol

  = 0.233 mol

Molarity of 0.233 mol of 100 mL acetic acid solution = 0.233 mol/0.1 L = 0.0233 M

Kvalue of acetic acid = 1.7×10-5

 

Step 2

Now, acetic acid dissociates in water as follows;

CH3COOH  <---->  CH3COO-  + H+

   K= [CH3COO- ][H+]/[CH3COOH]

Let, [CH3COO- ] =  [H+] = x

Then we have, 

1.7×10-5 = x.x/0.0233M

x  = 0.629×10-3 M

Now, pH of the acetic acid solution will be

  pH  = -log[H+

          = -log0.629×10-3 M

         = 2.8
