is the ans 2 sir???
What is the pH of a solution prepared by mixing 0.0100 mol HA (with Ka = 1.00*10-2) and 0.0100 mol of A- and diluting with water to 1.00 L?

HA = H+ + A-
0.01 0.01
t=teq. 0.01(1-x) 0.01x 0.01(1+x)
Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]
=> 10-2 = 0.01x*0.01(1+x)/0.01(1-x)
=> 10-2 = 10-2 (x+x2)/(1-x)
=> 1-x = x+x2
=> x2+2x-1=0
=> x = √2 -1
So pH = -log(0.01x)
= 2 - log(x)
= 2 - log(0.414)
= 2-(-0.38)
= 2.38
