#"Concentration"# #=# #"Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"#

Explanation:

#"Concentration"# #=# #(112*cancelg)/(82.03*cancelg*mol^-1)xx1/(1.65*L)# #=# #0.828*mol*L^-1" with respect to sodium acetate"#.

We have assumed (reasonably) that volume would remain constant after dissolution.

Would the #pH# of this solution be greater or less than #7#; why?
