Calculate the pH of a buffer solution obtained by mixing 1.5 mole of sodium acetate and 0.09 mole of CH3COOH.{Ka = 1.8 × 10-5 }. |

Answer» From Henderson equation of acidic buffer solution we know, pH = pKa +log [A-]/[salt] degree of ionization (∞) = √Kc/C = 3.4e-3 So,[CH3COO-] = C∞ = 3.4e-3 × 0.09 = 0.306e-3 So, pH = 4.7 + log [ 0.306e-3]/1.5 = 4.7 + log 0.0204 (log 0.0204 = -1.69) = 4.7 - 1.69 = 3.01 |
