Given: Ka of acetic acid is 1.8x10-5, and initial volume and concentration of CH3COOH is 0.2M and 0.1L, total volume at the eqvivalence point is 0.2L.

  1. 0.1 litre @ 0.2 mol/litre = 0.02 moles =of acid , which produced 0.2 moles of acetate @ the equiv point

    0.02 moles / 0.2 litre = 0.1 Molar acetate

    acetate is the conjugate base of acetic acid :

    Kb = Kwater / Ka = 1e-14 / 1.8e-5 = 5.56e-10

    acetate in water -->  acetic acid & OH-

    Kb = [acid] [OH-] / [acetate]

    5.56e-10 = [x] [x] / [0.1 molar]

    x = OH- = 7.45e-6

    pOH = 5.13

    pH = 14 - pOH

    your answer is pH = 8.87
