Please help! There are 3 Q:
1. From the definition of Ka for a weak acid, derive the following equation.
pH= pKa + log10 ([conjugate base]/[acid])
2. Based on the equation from question 1., what is the pH when 50% of an acetic acid was neutralised by sodium hydroxide? (call this pH50%). Similarly, what is the pH when there was a 55% neutralisation? (call this pH55%). What is the expected change between pH55% and pH50%?
3. What would be the final pH if 50 mL of water were added to 50mL of acetic acid/acetate buffer solution initially at pH 5.20? (consider the equation given in question 1.)
Could you please show the steps/workings as well!
THANK YOU!!!
