Calculate the pH of a solution containing a salt AcNa derived from a strong base (NaOH) and a weak

acid (AcH), like CH3COONa, KF, NaNO2 and so on. In this case two processes have to be considered:

1. Dissociation of the salt, within the assumption that the salt is a strong electrolyte:

     AcNa → Ac- + Na+,   for instance: CH3COONa → CH3COO- + Na+

2. the hydrolysis of the water

     Ac- + H2O ⇌ AcH + OH-,    for example: CH3COO- + H2O ⇌ CH3COOH + OH-

knowing that the initial concentration of the salt is 1.6 M

and the acid dissociation constant, Ka , is 1.38e-10.
