Calculate the pH of a buffer solution of 1.2 M acetic acid and 1.1 M sodium acetate. The Ka of acetic acid is 1.8 x 10-5
Added by Devin A.
Step 1
We know that the pH of a buffer solution can be calculated using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, which is pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]), where [A-] is the concentration of the base (sodium acetate) and [HA] is the concentration of the acid (acetic acid). Show more…

Calculate the pH of a buffer solution in which the acetic acid concentration is 8.8 Ă— 10^-1 M and the sodium acetate concentration is 1.2 Ă— 10^1 M. The equilibrium constant, Ka, for acetic acid is 1.8 Ă— 10^-5.
