Calculate the pH of the buffer solution resulting from mixing 250 cm^3 of 0.3 moldm^-3 ethanoic acid with 250cm^3 of 0.2 moldm^-3 sodium hydroxide. The Ka of ethanoic acid is 1.8 x 10^-5.

As an acid is being added to a base, you first need to calculate what is left after they react. Without doing any calculations, we can already see that the acid is in excess as both solutions have the sam...
