thanks! pls show the solution :D

Calcium acetate will dissocate completely to form Ca2+ and two acetate ions, giving an acetate ion concentration of 1.02M.
Acetate ion hydrolyzes (reacts with water) this way:
C2H3O2^- + HOH <==> HC2H3O2 + OH-
Kb = [HC2H2O2] [OH-] / [C2H3O2^-] = Kw / Ka = 1x10^-14 / 1.8x10^-5 = 5.6×10^-10
[OH-] = 2.4×10^-5
pOH = -log[OH-] = 4.62
pH = 14 - pOH = 9.38
