If the pK a of acetic acid and pK b of NH 4 OH are4.76and4.75respectively, what will be the pH of ammonium acetate solution?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

When a weak acid (acetic acid) and weak base NH 4 OH are mixed to form a solution. pH of the solution is then determined by following formula:

pH=7+ 1 2 pK a pK b

Given, pK a =4.76,  pK b =4.75

pH=7+ 1 2 4.764.75

pH=7+0.005

pH=7.005
