Calculating the expected pH of the buffer solution: Given that the pKa for Acetic Acid is 4.77, calculate the expected pH of the buffer solutions using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and the concentrations of Acetic Acid and Acetate added to the 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask: pH

Answer:

[tex]pH=4.77[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

pKa for Acetic Acid [tex]pK_a= 4.77[/tex]

Therefore

For Equal Concentration of acetic acid and acetatic ion

[tex]CH_3COOH=CH_3COO^-[/tex]

Generally the Henderson's equation for pH value is mathematically given by

[tex]pH=pK_a+log\frac{base}{acid}[/tex]

[tex]pH=4.77+log\frac{CH_3COO^-}{CH_3COOH}[/tex]

[tex]pH=4.77+log1[/tex]

[tex]pH=4.77[/tex]
