Calculate the pH of a solution containing 0.1 M acetic acid and 0.1 M benzoic acid. `K_(a)` for `CH_(3)CO OH` and `C_(6)H_(5)COOH` are `1.8xx10^(-5) and 6.5xx10^(-5)` respectively . |
Answer» `[H_(3)O^(+)]=sqrt((1.8xx10^(-5))(0.1)+(6.5xx10^(-5))(0.1))` `=sqrt(1.8xx10^(-6)+6.5xx10^(-6))=sqrt(8.3xx10^(-6))=2.88xx10^(-3)M` pH `=-log [H_(3)O^(+)]=- log (2.88xx10^(-3))=3-0.4594=2.5406`. |
