Solution
The correct option is D 8.85 NaOH+CH3COOH→CH3COONa+H2O Millimoles of NaOH reacting = molarity×volume(inL) = 0.1×50× =5 mmol This is the same as the amount of the acid reacting - i.e. 5 mmol, all the reactants are used up in the reaction. Concentration of the salt CH3COONa produced: molestotalvolume(mL) = 5100 =0.05 M For a salt of a weak acid and a strong base: pH = 12[pKw+pKa+logC] pKw=14, pKa=5 (given) and C = 0.05M After putting up the values we get pH = 8.85
