What is the pH when 100 mL of 2M NaOH is added to 100 mL of 1M acetic acid and H2O is added to make a final volume of 0.5L? (pK acetic acid= 4.76) The answer is 13.3 pH This was a practice problem from class. I was told that you can't use the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation for this problem because the NaOH is in excess. Could you explain step by step to get the answer?
