<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the buffer is 4.61
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:
We are given:
= negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.70
= moles of conjugate base = 3.25 moles
= Moles of acid = 4.00 moles
pH = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the pH of the buffer is 4.61
