you are my god! I really wanna cry, I worded on the same question last night for hours! There was some logical error I didn't make it clear, so I was really don't know where I was wrong. After went through the question you provided, I finally did it this morning. I even dreamed about myself still working on the problem last night. Such a relief now. THANK YOU

Good breakdown. Simple and clear. Thanks for the review.

Thank you so much for the video! So helpful!

Why not just use HH equation after the first step to calculate pH directly?

[muslimrafi]

What about just using Henderson Hasselbalch equation..coz the resulting soln will be a buffer??

This reminds me, I start organic Chemistry next week

couldn't you say the same thing with the Ch3COOH in terms of a loss of 0.20 moles instead of 0.10 within the ICF table

Mé vừa học xong phần này 😭 đã thấy quá muộn

You really did all that calculations just to tell us that pH = -log the ka which is the pKa? 😂😂😂
