`K_(a) ` for `CH_(3)CO OH` is `1.8xx10^(-5) and K_(b)` for `NH_(4)OH ` is `1.8xx10^(-5)`. The pH of ammonium acetate will beA. 7.005B. 4.75C. `7.0`D. between 6 and 7.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`CH_(3)CO ONH_(4)` is a salt of weak acid and weak base. Hence,
`pH = 7 + (1)/(2) (pK_(a) - pK_(b))=7+0=7`
