Find the pH of a buffer solution containing 0.20 mole per litre `CH_(3)COONa and 0.15` mole per litre `CH_(3)COOH, K_(a)` for acetic acid is `1.8xx10^(-5)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`K_(a)=1.8xx10^(-5)`
`pK_(a)=-log(1.8xx10^(-5))=4.7447`
`pH=pK_(a)+log""(["Salt"])/(["acid"])`
`……….."... Henderson - Hasselbalch equation"`
`=4.7447+log""(0.20)/(0.15)`
`pH=4.7447+log""(4)/(3)`
`=4.7447+0.6021-0.4771=4.8697`
