    After mixing 50.0 mL and 50.0 mL the molarities are cut in half to

    0.07 M acetic acid and 0.105 M sodium acetate

    the Ka for acetic acid = 1.8 x 10^-5

    HA = > H + & A-

    1.8 x 10^-5 = [H + ] [A-] / {HA]

    1.8 e-5 = [H + ] [0.105] / [0.07]

    H + = 1.2 x 10^-5 M

    pH = - log (1.2 x10^-5 M)

    pH = 4.92
