To calculate the pH of an ammonium acetate solution given the pK_a of acetic acid and the pK_b of ammonium hydroxide, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Components We know that ammonium acetate is formed from acetic acid (a weak acid) and ammonium hydroxide (a weak base). The pK_a of acetic acid is given as 4.76, and the pK_b of ammonium hydroxide is given as 4.75. ### Step 2: Use the Relationship Between pK_a, pK_b, and pH For a salt formed from a weak acid and a weak base, the pH can be calculated using the following formula: \[ ...
