Solution

The correct option is D log 4
CH3COOHCH3COO+H+
Ka=1.8×105
pH=pKa+log[CH3COO][CH3COOH]
In the 1/3 stage of neutralization,
1/3 of CH3COOH is changed to
CH3COO
Hence, [CH3COO]/[CH3COOH]=(1/3)/(11/3)=1/2
pH1=log(1.8×105)+log1/21
In the 2/3 stage of neutralization,
[CH3COO]/[CH3COOH]=(2/3)/(12/3)=2
pH2=log(1.8×105)+log22
pH2pH1=log2log1/2=2log2log1=log4log1
=log4
