TBR GenChem I page 324 #33
The question is somewhat complicated to explain without copying the entire passage + question + answer explanation so only people with access to the TBR GC book can probably help.
TBR says that the concentrations of H3CCO2H between the two points in question differ by a factor of 2. Then, TBR concludes that that means that the pH of the two solutions differs by -log(sqrt2).
How do you suddenly get a square root in there?
