Monosodium succinate = C4H5NaO4
C4H5NaO4 -----------------------C4H5O4- + Na+
C4H5O4- H2O ----------------- C4H5O4H + OH-
0.1 0 0

Ka = [C4H5OH][OH-]/[C4H5O4-]
Pka1 = 4.19
-log(Ka1) = 4.19
Ka1 = 10^-4.19
Ka1= 6.46x10^-5
6.46x10^-5 = x*x/(0.1-x)
for solving the equation
x= 0.0025
[OH-] =0..0025M
-log[OH-] = -log(0.0025)
POH= 2.60
PH+POH=14
PH= 14 - POH
PH = 14- 2.60
PH = 11.4
