    The first step is to calculate the molarity of each compound:

    final volume of solution = 157 + 139 = 296 mL

    molarity of nac2h3o2 = (157 x 0.35) / 296 = 0.1856 molar

    molarity of hc2h3o2 = (139 x 0.46) / 296 = 0.216 molar

    Then, we calculate the pH as follows:

    pKa of acetic acid = - log (1.75 * 10^-5) = 4.7569

    pH = pKa + log ([salt] / [acid])

    = 4.7569 + log (0.1856 / 0.216)

    = 4.691
