Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction between acetic acid and NaOH is a neutralization reaction, which produces sodium acetate and water. The pH of the solution will depend on the concentration of the sodium acetate, which is a weak base. The pKa of acetic acid is 4.74, so the pH of the solution will be greater than 4.74. The correct answer is A.
