Question

Weak Acids dissociate according to the following equation:

HA(aq) + H2O(L) ⇌ H3O+ (aq) + A-(aq)

In a lab, a buffer solution is made that contains both a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A-), with the following concentrations:

[HA] = 0.120 M

[A-] = 0.200 M

If the weak acid has a pKa value of 6.444, what is the pH of this buffer solution? (Please provide your answer to 3 decimal places.)
