<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution is 4.14
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

Molarity of NaOH = 1 M
Volume of solution = 20 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Molarity of acetic acid solution = 0.26 M
Volume of solution = 100 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:

The chemical reaction for NaOH and acetic acid follows the equation:

<u>Initial:</u> 0.100 0.020
<u>Final:</u> 0.080 - 0.020
Volume of solution = 20 + 100 = 120 mL = 0.120 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)
To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:
![pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5Bsalt%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D%29)
![pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[CH_3COONa]}{[CH_3COOH]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5BCH_3COONa%5D%7D%7B%5BCH_3COOH%5D%7D%29)
We are given:
= negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of acetic acid = 4.74
![[CH_3COONa]=\frac{0.020}{0.120}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BCH_3COONa%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B0.020%7D%7B0.120%7D)
![[CH_3COOH]=\frac{0.080}{0.120}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BCH_3COOH%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B0.080%7D%7B0.120%7D)
pH = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the pH of the solution is 4.14
