An aqueous solution contains a mixture of 0.0500 M HCOOH (K a = 1.77 10 -4

Question:

An aqueous solution contains a mixture of 0.0500 M HCOOH (Ka = 1.77 × 10-4) and 0.150 M CH3CH2COOH (Ka = 1.34 × 10-5). Calculate the pH of this solution. Because both acids are of comparable strength, the H+ contribution from both acids must be considered.
