Answer:

The pH is 4.76 (option C)

Explanation:

pH of a solution = TO BE DETERMNED

[sodium acetate] = 1M ; [acetic acid] = 1M

K = [H+] [A-] / [HA]

K = [H+] [1] / [1]

K = H

pH = pK

⇒ now pH is equal to pK

⇒ The value of pK is given which is 4.76

⇒ This means the value of the pH is also 4.76
