Solution Summary

This solution is provided in 258 words and uses the formula for a weak acid/base to find pH.

Solution Preview

For these questions you must learn the general formula for a weak acid (and weak bases, just a little adjustment).

Ka = [H+][A-]/ [HA] which is true for any and all weak acids because...

HA --> H+ + A- and any K ...
