Answer:
a. 0.182
b. 1.009
c. 1.819
Explanation:
Henderson-Hasselbach equation is:
pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]
Let's replace the formula by the given values.
a. 3 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]
3 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]
-0.74 = log [salt / acid]
10⁻⁰'⁷⁴ = 0.182
b. 3.744 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]
3.744 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]
0.004 = log [salt / acid]
10⁰'⁰⁰⁴ = 1.009
c. 4 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]
4 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]
0.26 = log [salt / acid]
10⁰'²⁶ = 1.819
