What is the colour of pH paper of CH3COONa?

The color of pH paper when testing a solution of sodium acetate (CH3COONa) typically ranges from green to blue, indicating a pH above 7, as sodium acetate is a salt formed from a weak acid (acetic acid) and a strong base (sodium hydroxide). This means that in aqueous solution, it tends to be slightly basic. The exact color may vary depending on the concentration of the solution and the specific pH paper used.

What can be used to get a pH value?

A pH meter or pH test strips can be used to measure the pH value of a solution. pH meters provide a numerical value of the pH, while pH test strips change color based on the pH level of the solution, allowing for an approximation of the pH value.

Why a mixture of ch3cooh and ch3coona can act as a buffer while a mixture of hcl and nacl can not?

Buffers are made out of what are called weak acids or weak bases. Mixtures of CH3COOH and CH3COONa can act as buffers because they don't break apart completely in solution like HCl and NaCl. As the CH3COOH and CH3COONa are in solution they keep the pH constant by either donating or accepting protons because they don't act like strong acids or bases. HCl is known as a strong acid where the hydrogen disassociates completely from the chloride. NaCl is not a buffer because it dissolves completely as welll

Is CH3COONa an acid?

No. Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid, however, sodium acetate (CH3COONa) is a salt or ionic compound formed in a neutralisation reaction (proton transfer reaction, or simply put: reaction between an acid and a base). For example: CH3COOH (aq) + NaOH (aq) --> CH3COONa (aq) + H2O (l) Since the sodium acetate is in aqueous solution (dissolved in water), it will actually have a pH that is slightly basic (ie: less than 7). This is due to the pH of salt solutions of some salts being other than neutral (pH of 7) but that is another question entirely. Hope that this helps.


Is CH3COONa soluble in water?

ITS: CH3COONa --> CH3COO- + Na+ Or if its CH3COONa . 3H2O --> CH3COONa + 3H2O
