Answer:

\large \boxed{5.15}

Explanation:

HA + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻

1. Calculate pKₐ

\text{p}K_{\text{a}} = -\log \left (K_{\text{a}} \right ) =-\log(1.3 \times 10^{-5}) = 4.89

2. Calculate the pH

We can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to get the pH.

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{pH} & = & \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log \left(\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}}\right )\\\\& = & 4.89 +\log \left(\dfrac{0.42}{0.23}\right )\\\\& = & 4.89 + \log1.83 \\& = & 4.89 +0.261\\& = & 5.15\\\end{array}\\\text{The pH of the buffer is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{5.15}}$}

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Atomic Particles

Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).
