Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the pH of an ammonium acetate solution, we can use the following steps: ### Step 1: Understand the components Ammonium acetate is a salt formed from a weak acid (acetic acid) and a weak base (ammonium hydroxide). The pKa of acetic acid is given as 4.76, and the pKb of ammonium hydroxide is given as 4.75. ### Step 2: Use the formula for pH of a salt solution For a salt formed from a weak acid and a weak base, the pH can be calculated using the formula: \[ ...
