Calculate the ratio: [𝐢𝐻3𝐢𝑂𝑂𝐻] / [𝐢𝐻3πΆπ‘‚π‘‚π‘π‘Ž]

That will give a solution with pH of 5.00, given πΎπ‘Ž = 1.8 Γ— 10βˆ’5 .

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is
pH = pKa + log (base/acid)
pH is 5.00
Convert Ka to pKa. That will be close to 4.75 but you need to do that yourself/
Solve for base/acid concentrations. Base is CH3COONa and acid is CH3COOH
