Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given that the pKa of a weak acid is 4.76, calculate the pH of a buffer solution where the ratio of the concentrations of its salt to the weak acid is 0.5.
💡 Hint: Consider how the ratio impacts the logarithm in the equation.
A solution is made by combining 0.1 M acetic acid with 0.1 M sodium acetate. If the solution is diluted by half, how does the pH change?
💡 Hint: Think about how dilution affects the concentrations.
