pKa value of acetic acid is 4.75.If the buffer solution contains 0.125 M acetic acid and 0.25 M sodium acetate, the pH of buffer solution is?

plz give the answer with solution

Your Answer

it is a acidic buffer as it contains acetic acid (weak acid) and it salt with strong base(NaOH) so the formula is = pH= pka+ log(salt)/(weak acid) hence ... pH=4.75+ log(0.25)/(0.125) =4.75+ log(2) =4.75+0.3010 =5.0510.Hence it is an acidic solution.
