Explanation:

It is known that the relation between pH and $pK_{a}$ is as follows.

pH = $pK_{a} + log \frac{[salt]}{[acid]}$

and, $pK_{a} = -log K_{a}$

Hence, first we will calculate the value of $pK_{a}$ as follows.

$pK_{a} = -log K_{a}$

= $-log (1.76 \times 10^{-5}$

= 4.75

Now, we will calculate the value of pH as follows.

pH = $pK_{a} + log \frac{[\text{sodium acetate}]}{\text{acetic acid}}$

= $4.75 + log \frac{0.172}{0.818}$

= 4.75 + (-0.677)

= 4.07

Therefore, we can conclude that the pH of given solution is 4.07.
