what is the pH of a solution that mixes 30.00 mL of 0.010 M Ch3oh with 30.00 mL 0.00750 M Nach3co2?
We know that
Since the volume of the both acid and salt are the same [CH3COOH] = 0.010 M
[CH3COONa] = 0.00750 M
Ionization constant for acetic acid , Ka = 1.7510-5
pKa = - log Ka
= - log (1.7510-5)
= 5 - log 1.75
= 4.76
Substitute he above values in the first eqaution we have
