Acidic buffer
Question

What is the PHof a buffer containing 0.09 M CH3COOH and 0.15 M of potassium acetate? Ka=1.8×10-5, log 5=0.699, log 3 =0.4771, log 1.8=0.2553

Moderate
Solution

PH=PKa+logsaltacid

     =-log1.8×10-5+log0.150.09

     =-0.2553-5+log 5-log 3

     =+4.7447+0.699-0.4771

     =4.9666
