Answer : The pH of the solution is, 4.9

Explanation : Given,

Dissociation constant for acetic acid = K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}

Concentration of acetic acid = 0.05 M

Concentration of sodium acetate = 0.075 M

First we have to calculate the value of pK_a.

The expression used for the calculation of pK_a is,

pK_a=-\log (K_a)

Now put the value of K_a in this expression, we get:

pK_a=-\log (1.8\times 10^{-5})

pK_a=5-\log (1.8)

pK_a=4.7

Now we have to calculate the pH of buffer.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[CH_3COONa]}{[CH_3COOH]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

pH=4.7+\log (\frac{0.075}{0.05})

pH=4.9

Therefore, the pH of the solution is 4.9.
