The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can be used to determine the pH of the buffer from the pKa value. The pH of the buffer will be 4.75.
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is used to determine the value of pH of the buffer with the help of the acid disassociation constant.
Given,
Acid disassociation constant (ka) = 1. 8 10⁻⁵
Concentration of NaOH = 2.0 M
Concentration of CH₃COOH = 2.0 M
pKa value is calculated as,
pKa = -log Ka
pKa = - log (1. 8 x 10⁻⁵)
Substituting the value of pKa in the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation as
pH = - log (1. 8 x 10⁻⁵) + log [2.0] ÷ [2.0]
pH = - log (1. 8 x 10⁻⁵) + log [1]
= 4.745 + 0
= 4.75
Therefore, 4.75 is the pH of the buffer.
