A buffer solution was formed by mixing 20.0 cm^3 of sodium hydroxide solution of concentration 0.100 mol dm^–3 with 25.0 cm^3 of ethanoic acid of concentration 0.150 mol dm^–3. CH3COOH + NaOH---CH3COONa + H2O Calculate the pH of this buffer solution.

Ka for ethanoic acid = 1.74 × 10–5 mol dm–3 also given in question. moles = concentration x volume / 1000Ka = [H+] [A-]/[HA]pH = -log [H+]
initial moles:NaOH: 20x0.1/1000 = 0.002molCH...
