Chapter 16, Problem 82E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The $\text{pH}$ of the solution of acetic acid and sodium acetate is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: The $\text{pH}$ of the given buffer solution is calculated by using the formula,

  $\text{pH}={\text{pK}}_{\text{a}}+\log \frac{\left[\text{Conjugate}\text{Base}\right]}{\left[\text{Acid}\right]}$

To determine: The $\text{pH}$ of the given solution.
