Solution

The correct option is B 1.8×105
When volume of solution is doubled, the concentration reduced to half.
Thus 100 mL of CH3COOH and 100 mL of NaOH added to give 200mL of solution of 0.2 M CH3COOH and 0.1 M NaOH.

CH3COOH+NaOHCH3COONa+H2O40 mmol20 mmol0After reaction,20 mmol020 mmol

[CH3COOH]=20200=0.1 M, [CH3COONa]=20200=0.1 M
pH=pKa+log[salt][acid]
pH=pKa
[H+]=Ka=1.8×105
