PKa= 4.9 therefore ka= 10^-4.9=  1.259x10^-5

ka= \frac{[H^+][CH3CH2COO^-]}{[CH3CH2COOH]}

[CH3CH2COO^-]
= 0.05
[CH3CH2COOH]= 0.10

Therefore 1.259x10^-5 = \frac{[H^+][0.05]}{[0.1]}
Rearrange the equation to make the concentration of hydrogen the subject.
Therefore [H^+] =  \frac{(1.259*10^-5)(0.1)}{0.05}

Therefore [H^+]= 2.513*10^-5

pH= -log [H^+] = -log(2.513*10^-5)= 4.59.

Answer: Democritus atomic theory is the ancient theory that describes the nature of matter in terms of atoms whereas Dalton atomic theory is a modern scientific theory that describes the nature of matter in terms of atoms. According to Dalton's theory, atoms are identically same, but Democritus had no idea about it. Atoms are never created nor destroyed, they just rearrange.
