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 4.76−4.75

pH = 7 + 0.005

pH = 7.005
