How much sodium acetate should be added to 0.1 M solution $ CH_3COOH to give a solution of P^H 5.5 (pKa of CH_3CooH = 4.5 ) $
$ P^H = pka + { log [CH_3COONa] \over 1 [CH_3COOH] $ $ 5.5 = 4.5 + log { [CH_3COONa] \over 0.7 } $ $ 4.5 + log [CH_3COONa ] + 1 $ $ \therefore log [CH_3COONa] = 0 $ $ \therefore [CH_3COONa] = 7 M $
