- Homework Statement
- The Ionization constant of chloroacetic acid is ##1.35 * 10^{-3}##. What will be the pH of 0.1M acid and its 0.1M sodium salt solution?
- Relevant Equations
- ## K_w = K_a * K_b ##, ##K_b = \frac{[OH^-][CH2ClOOH]}{[CH2ClOO^-]}##
For finding the pH of the acid, I made use of the equilibrium law (or the law of mass action) to arrive at the degree of dissociation which I later used to get the [H+] concentration.
I am stuck in finding the pH of the salt solution.
##CH2ClOO^- + H2O <---> CHClOOH + OH^-##
Could you please help me out?
