The pK_{b} of dimethylamine and pK_{a} of acetic acid are 3.27 and 4.77 respectively at T (K). The correct option for the pH of dimethylammonium acetate solution is :
8.50
5.50
7.75
6.25
Dimethylammonium acetate is a salt of weak acid and weak base whose pH can be calculated as pH = 7 + 1/2(pK_{a} - pK_{b}) = 7 + 1/2(4.77 - 3.27) = 7.75.
