3 g of acetic acid is added to 250 mL of 0.1 M HCl and the solution made up to 500 mL. To 20 mL of this solution 12 mL of 5M NaOH is added. The pH of the solution is ________
[Given: pKa of acetic acid =4.75, molar mass of acetic acid 60 g/mol,log⁡3=0.4771 , Neglect any changes in volume]

Solution

millimole of acetic acid in 20mL=2
millimole of HCl in 20mL=1
millimole of  NaOH=2.5


pH=PKa+log⁡3/22
=4.74+log⁡3
=4.74+0.48=5.22
