Question:

Calculate the {eq}pH {/eq} of {eq}30 \ mL {/eq} {eq}1 {/eq} Macetic acid and {eq}30 \ ml \ 1 \ M {/eq} sodium acetate.

Weak acids, weak bases, and buffers

The solution formed by reacting a weak base with its conjugate acid or reacting a weak acid with its conjugate base is known as a buffer solution. There exist an equilibrium between the weak acid and its conjugate base.
