Acidic buffer
Question

pH of the mixture containing 200ml of 0.1M CH3COOH and 100ml of 0.15M KOH is pka of  CH3COOH=4.8

Moderate
Solution

Number of milli equivalents of CH3COOH = 200(0.1M)1 = 20

Number of milli equivalents of KOH = 100(0.15M)1 = 15

Excess WA + limited SB acts like an acidic buffer
