Detailed Solution

Following reaction will occur

  CH3COOH +NaOH CH3COONa + H2O
t = 0 0.1 x 20 = 2, 0.1 x 10 = 1       0
\large t = t_\infty 2 - 1 = 1      , 1 - 1 = 0       1

Resultant solution is an acidic buffer. Such a soltuion has a PH given as.

\large {P^H} = {P^{{K_a}}} + \log \frac{{\left[ {salt} \right]}}{{\left[ {acid} \right]}}

\large \Rightarrow {P^H} = 4.74 + \log \frac{1}{1} = 4.74

\large \Rightarrow \left[ {{H^ + }} \right] = 1.7 \times {10^{ - 5}}
