Calculate the pH of mixing 24 mL of 1M acetic acid with 76 mL of 1M sodium acetate. For the purpose of this calculation, assume the Ka of acetic acid is 1.8 X 10-5. You must include units to obtain full credit. You must show all your work to obtain any credit.

pH = 5.24

Explanation:

Mixture of acetic acid with acetate ion is a buffer (Mixture of a weak acid with its conjugate base). The pH of a buffer can be determined using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

Where pKa is -log Ka = 4.74; [A⁻] is the concentration of conjugate base (Acetate ion) and [HA] is molar concentration of the weak acid.

Concentration of the acetic acid in the 100mL≡0.1L (76mL + 24mL) solution is:

[HA] = 0.024L ₓ (1mol / L) / 0.1L = 0.24M

[A⁻] = 0.076L ₓ (1mol / L) / 0.1L = 0.76M

Replacing in H-H equation:

pH = 4.74 + log₁₀ [0.76M] / [0.24M]

hope this !

to be fair, you have to have a very high iq to understand rick and morty. the humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. there's also rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from narodnaya volya literature, for instance. the fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about life. as a consequence people who dislike rick & morty truly are idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in rick's existential catchphrase "wubba lubba dub dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to turgenev's russian epic fathers and sons. i'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as dan harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. what fools.. how i pity them.

and yes, by the way, i do have a rick & morty tattoo. and no, you cannot see it. it's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 iq points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. nothin personnel kid
