MCQ
A buffer solution contains $6.4 \times {10^{ - 5}}$ of acetic acid and $0.1\,\,M$ of sodium acetate. What will be its $pH$, if $p{K_a}$ of acetic acid is $4.75$
  • A
    $4$
  • $4.75$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $5.25$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$4.75$
(b)  $pH = p{K_a} + {\rm{log}}\frac{{{\rm{[Salt]}}}}{{{\rm{[Acid]}}}}$; $pH = 4.75 + {\rm{log}}\frac{{0.1}}{{0.1}}$

$pH = 4.75 + {\rm{log}}\,\,1$; $pH = 4.75$
