Using the Henderson equation , pH = pKₐ + log(salt/acid)
pH-value for given mixture is 4.74
When a strong base like potasium hydroxide (KOH ) reacts with weak acid like acetic acid (CH₃COOH) form a salt ( CH₃COOK ) and water . This type of reaction is called Neutralization reaction.
CH₃COOH (aq) + KOH (aq) ------> CH₃COO⁻K⁺ (aq) + H₂O(aq)
Given that
= 5 × 10⁻³mol
Now , using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to find the p-H value
p-H = pKa + log ( salt or conjugate base / weak acid ) ------(1)
where Kₐ is dissociation constant
Since, Kₐ value for acetic acid is 3.8×10⁻⁵
=> pKₐ = 4.74
put the values in (1)
p-H = 4.74 + log ( 5/5) = 4.74 + 0 = 4.74
So, p-H value for solution is 4.74 ..
