The pH of a simple acetate buffer is given by `pH = pK_(a) + log.(["Salt"])/(["Acid"])` `K_(a)` of acetic acid `= 1.8 xx 10^(-5)` If [Salt] = [Acid] = 0.1 M, the pH of the solution would be aboutA. 7B. 4.7C. 5.3D. 1.4

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`["Salt"] = 0.1 M, ["Acid"] = 0.1 M`
`K_(a) = 1.8 xx 10^(-5) , pH = -logK_(a) + log.(["Salt"])/(["Acid"])`
`= -log 1.8 xx 10^(-5) + log.(0.1)/(0.1) = -log 1.8 xx 10^(-5)`
`pH = 4.7`.
