Calculate the pH of a solution of acetic acid where [CH3COOH] = 0.05 mol.dm-3. (pKa CH3COOH/CH3COO- = 4.74)

do 10-pka to find the ka value, then rearrange the formula

ka= [H+]2/[HA] to find H+ and then do -log[H+] to find ph to 2 decimal places.
Gosh they're dumbing down these Masters courses aren't they
