Answer:
3.97
Explanation:
pH of buffer solution = pKa+Log(Cb/Ca)
pH of buffer solution = -log(Ka)+log(Cb/Ca)............... Equation 1
Where Ca = concentration of acid, Cb = concentration of base.
Given: Ka = 6.5×10⁻⁵, Ca = 0.25 M, Cb = 0.15 M
Substitute into equation 1
pH of buffer solution = -log(6.5×10⁻⁵)+log(0.15/0.25)
pH of buffer solution = 4.19+(0.22)
pH of buffer solution = 3.97.
