The $pOH$ of a basic buffer (e.g.,$NH_4OH/NH_4Cl$) is $5$. If the concentration of the salt is tripled while the concentration of the base remains constant,find the new $pOH$ value. (Given: $\log 3 = 0.48$)

What would be the $pH$ of a solution obtained by mixing $5 \ g$ of acetic acid and $7.5 \ g$ of sodium acetate and making the volume equal to $500 \ mL$? $(K_a = 1.75 \times 10^{-5}, pK_a = 4.76)$
