A buffer solution of pH = 5.15 is to be prepared from acetic acid (Ka =

$1.80x10^5$ ), sodium acetate and water. What must be the molar ratio of acetate ion to acetic acid in this solution to obtain this pH?

p H

of a simple sodium acetate buffer is given by

p H = p K_{a} + log \frac{[S a l t]}{[A c i d]}

K_{a}

= 1.8 \times 10^{- 5}

If [Salt]=[Acid]

= 0.1 M

p H

of the solution would be about:
