What is the pH of a buffer solution prepared by mixing 100 mL of 0,2 M ethanoic acid (acetic acid, ) with 100 mL of 0,2 M sodium ethanoate? (Take , so )
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Buffer solution pH is 4,74
- Step 1: Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: . Step 2. Since equimolar amounts of conjugate base and weak acid are mixed in equal volumes, . Step 3. , so . Answer: Buffer solution pH is 4,74. Why not the others: When acid and conjugate base concentrations are equal, pH equals pKa.
