1.

The pK_(a) fo acetic acid and pK_(b) of ammonium hydroxide are 4.76 and 4.75 respectively .Calculate the pH of ammonium acetate solution .

Answer»

SOLUTION :As `CH_(3)CO ONH_(4) ` is a SALT of weak ACID, weak base,
`pH = 7 + (1)/(2) [pK_(a)-pK_(b)] = 7 + (1)/(2) (4.76-4.75) = 7 + 0.005 = 7. 005`
