In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent.

Before addition of HCl,
conc. of CH3COOH = 0.450 M
conc. of CH3COONa = 0.550 M
After addition of 0.08 M HCl, following reaction occurs in system:
HCl + CH3COONa ↔ CH3COOH + NaCl
Thus, in reaction system conc. of CH3COOH will increase to 0.53 M (0.08M + 0.450M)
And, conc to CH3COONa will reduce to 0.47 M (0.550M - 0.08M)
Now, conc. of H+ ions = ka
![\frac{[acid]}{[conjugated base]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D%7B%5Bconjugated%20base%5D%7D)
where ka = dissociation constant for acid = 10^-5 for Ch3COOH
∴ conc. of H+ ions =

= 1.1277 x 10^-5
Now, pH = -log [H+] = -log (1.1227 x 10^-5) = 4.94
Answer:
Hydrogen ion concentration is more conveniently expressed as pH, which is the logarithm of the reciprocal of the hydrogen ion concentration in gram moles per liter. Thus, in a neutral solution the hydrogen ion (H+) and the hydroxyl ion (OH−) concentrations are equal, and each is equal to 10−7. A pH of 7 is neutral
