Equilibrium Question 421

Question: A buffer solution contains $ 6.4\times {10^{-5}} $ of acetic acid and $ 0.1M $ of sodium acetate. What will be its $ pH $ , if $ pK_{a} $ of acetic acid is 4.75 [MP PMT 1996]

Options:

A) 4.00

B) 4.75

C) 5.00

D) 5.25

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ pH=pK_{a}+log\frac{[\text{ Salt }]}{[\text{ Acid }]} $ ; $ pH=4.75+log\frac{0.1}{0.1} $

$ pH=4.75+log1 $ ; $ pH=4.75 $
