Homework Equations
can someone walk me through this? i know the answer is 4.89 but I am not sure how to get that. I am not even entirely sure how to set up the equation
The Attempt at a Solution
i tried this to start, but not sure if its right:
notations:
wa = weak acid
sa = strong acid
wb = weak base
sb = strong base
n = neutral
-wa----sb-------wb-----n
HAc + NaOH <> NaAc + H20
even if this is right, I am not sure where to go from here.
