A solution is prepared by mixing 10 ~mL of 1.0 M acetic acid and 20 ~mL of 0.5 M sodium acetate and diluted to 100 ~mL . If the pK _ a of acetic acid is 4.76 , then the pH of the solution is
Options
- A4.76
- B3.76
- C5.76
- D9.24
Correct answer
A. 4.76
Step-by-step solution
aligned & pH = pK _ a + [ salt ] [ Acid ] & [ Acid ]= [ CH ₃ COOH ]= 10 1 100 =0.1 M & [ Salt ]= [ CH ₃ COO ⁻ ]= 20 0.5 100 =0.1 M & pH =4.76+ 0.1 0.1 & =4.76 aligned
