    4.7

    Explanation:

    Given data

    Concentration of the weak acid: 0.540 M Concentration of the conjugate base: 0.230 M Acid dissociation constant (Ka) : 8.0 * 10⁻⁶

    We can calculate the pH of a buffer system using the Henderson-Hasselbalch's equation.

    pH = pKa + log ([base]/[acid])

    pH = - log (8.0 * 10⁻⁶) + log (0.230 M/0.540 M)

    pH = 4.7
