Acetic acid is HAc.
mols HAc = 1L x 3M = 3 mols.
..........HAc + OH^- ==> A^- + H2O
initial...3......0.......0.....0
add...............x...............
change.....-x.....-x......x
equil.......3-x....0.......x

Now substitute into Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and solve for for x

pH = pKa + log(base)/(acid)
