    Answer is: pH value of solution of NaC₂H₃O₂ is 9.07.

    Chemical reaction: C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + OH⁻.

    Ka (HC₂H₃O₂) = 1,8·10⁻⁵.

    Ka · Kb = Kw.

    1,8·10⁻⁵ mol/dm³ · Kb = 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶; the ionic product of water at 25°C.

    Kb (C₂H₃O₂⁻) = 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ : 1,8·10⁻⁵ mol/dm³.

    Kb (C₂H₃O₂⁻) = 5,56·10⁻¹⁰ mol/dm³.

    c (C₂H₃O₂⁻) = 0,25 M.

    [OH⁻] = [HC₂H₃O₂] = x.

    [C₂H₃O₂⁻] = 0,25 M - x.

    Kb = [OH⁻] · [HC₂H₃O₂] / [C₂H₃O₂⁻].

    5,56·10⁻¹⁰ = x² / (0,25 M - x).

    Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH⁻] = 0,0000118 M.

    pOH = - log[OH⁻] = - log (0,0000118M) = 4,93.

    pH + pOH = 14.

    pH = 14 - 4,93 = 9,07.
