Acetate Approx

Acetate Approx
is this pH calculation correct (buffers)?

a solution 50mL of a .1M sodium acetate solution with 150mL of 1M acetic acid(pKa = 4.7) what is the pH of the resulting solution.

first i calculated molality of the solution[ .1/.05L] = 2M and [1/.15] = 6.7M

next to convert pKa to Ka, 10^-4.7= 2.0 x 10^-5

now to set it up.(i did an ice table)

2.0 x 10^-5 = [(x)(6.7 +x)]/2-x), for this step (6.7+x) is aprrox 6.7 and (2-x) is approx 2

2.0 x 10^-5 = x6.7/2 = 3.35x

x = 6×10^-6

then -log(6×10^-6) = 5.2 pH

is it right ?

Nope, it’s not correct.

Molarity calculations (use M1V1 = M2V2):

NaAc: (0.1) (50) = (x) (200); x = 0.025 M
HAc: (1) (150) = (x) (200); x = 0.75 M

Use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to calculate pH of buffer:

pH = pKa + log (salt/acid)

x = 4.75 + log(.025/.75)

x = 4.75 -1.48

pH = 3.27

Update: note that I used a pKa of 4.75, not the 4.7 you supplied.
