Question

The pH of solution containing 0.10 M sodium acetate and 0.03 M acetic acid is
(pKa for CH3COOH = 4.57)

Options

A.0.09
B.6.09
C.5.09
D.7.09

Solution

According to henderson equation, pH of acidic buffer is given as
pH = pKa + log
= 4.57 + log
= 4.57 + [log 10 - log 3]
= 4.57 + log 3.33
= 4.57 = 0.52 = 5.09
