pH of Weak Acid-Strong Base Hydrolyzed Salt

What is the pH of an aqueous solution of sodium acetate ($CH_3COONa$) of concentration $C$ with weak acid dissociation constant $K_a$ at $25^circ\text{C}$?

Recall the equation, boundary limits, and traps before flipping!

✓ Verified Chemistry Formula👆 Click to flip back

$$\text{pH} = 7 + \frac{1}{2}\left(\text{pK}_a + \log_{10} C\right)$$

📐 Condition / DomainValid for weak monoprotic acid salt when degree of hydrolysis $h \le 0.05$.

🔍 Boundary CheckAs $C \to 0$, pH approaches $7.00$. Higher concentration of basic salt increases pH above $7$.

⚠️ Common Exam Trap:Do not confuse with weak base-strong acid salt which has formula $\text{pH} = 7 - \frac{1}{2}(\text{pK}_b + \log C)$!

3. 🛡️ Negative-Marking Shield: "Spot the Hidden Error"

Eliminate unforced negative marks ($+4/-1/-2$) by debugging realistic exam derivations where tricky chemistry traps were planted. Can you spot the exact step that breaks chemical laws?

🛡️ Negative-Marking Defense

Spot the Hidden Error: Chemistry Exam Debugger

Identify the exact step where an invalid chemical law, incorrect reaction intermediate, or neglected equilibrium constraint was introduced.

Exam Problem Setup

Calculate the pH of a $1.0 \times 10^{-8}\text{ M}$ aqueous solution of $HCl$ at $25^\circ\text{C}$.

Step-by-Step Derivation: Click the step that contains the error

Step 1

$HCl$ is a strong monoprotic acid that undergoes complete ionization: $[H^+]_{HCl} = 1.0 \times 10^{-8}\text{ M}$.

Click to test

Step 2

Therefore, the total hydrogen ion concentration is $[H^+] = 1.0 \times 10^{-8}\text{ M} \implies \text{pH} = -\log(10^{-8}) = 8.00$.

Click to test

Step 3

Since pH = 8.00 is greater than 7, the solution is weakly alkaline.

Charge & Atom Conservation

Eliminate options that violate net electrical neutrality or conservation of atoms.

2

Extreme Limit Bounds

Test asymptotic limits (e.g. as $C \to 0$, $\text{pH} \to 7.00$; as $T \to 0$, $S \to 0$).
