Question about Buffers
Here is the problem:
0.25 ml of 0.10M acetic acid solution. The pH meter reads 2.88. Use the measured pH and known concentration of the acetic acid solution to determine the pKa of acetic acid.
1. Using the equation pKa= -log Ka, calculate the Ka from the pH value and the starting acetic acid concentration.
2. Calculate the Ka of acetic acid.
