Answer: pH of buffer solution is 8.1
Explanation:
The formula for the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is:
[tex]pH=pK_a+\log\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}[/tex]
[tex]pH[/tex] is the concentration of [tex][H^+][/tex]
[tex]pK_a[/tex] is the acid dissociation constant,
[tex]A^-[/tex] and [tex]HA[/tex] are concentrations of the conjugate base and starting acid.
Putting in the values we get:
[tex]pH=7.5+\log\frac{x}{\frac{x}{4}}[/tex]
[tex]pH=8.1[/tex]
Thus pH of buffer solution is 8.1
