Calculate the pH of a solution containing 0.1 M `CH_(3)COOH` and 0.15 M `CH_(3)COO^(-)`. `(K_(a) "of" CH_(3)COOH=1.8xx10^(-5))`A. 9.1B. 3.9C. 10 .D. 4 .91

Answer» Correct Answer - D
pH of acidic buffer solution is
`pH=pKa+ "log" ({"salt"})/({Acid})`
` Ka=1.8xx10^(-5)`
pKa = 5 - log 1.8
=5 - 0.25
`pH=4.75+log(0.15)/(0.1)`
`=4.75+ log 1.5`
= 4.90
