Question

A few mL of 0.800M HCl are added to 20mL of 0.800. NaC2H3O2. Will the initial pH of the 0.800M NaC2H3O2 be greater than, less than, or equal to 7?

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

pH is used to determine the concentration of hydronium ion.

pH for acid is less than 7.

pH for base is greater than 7.

pH for neutral is 7.

Step 2

Given information:

Molarity of HCl = 0.800 M

Molarity of NaC2H3O2 = 0.800 M

Volume = 20 mL

Step 3

NaC2H3O2 is sodium acetate which is a salt of weak acid (acetic acid) and strong base (NaOH) . It means that basically the  salt is basic in nature.
