MCQ
$pH$ of a mixture of $1\ M\ HA (pK_a = 4.2)$ and $1\ M\ NaA$ is $4.5$ . In $300\ ml$ of buffer volume of $HA$ is.......$ml$ $[log\, 2 = 0.3]$
  • A
    $200$
  • B
    $150$
  • $100$
  • D
    $600$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$100$
c
$\mathrm{pH}=\mathrm{p} \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}}+\log \frac{[\mathrm{Salt}]}{[\mathrm{Acid}]}$

$\Rightarrow \quad 4.5=4.2+\log \frac{300-x}{x}$

$\Rightarrow \quad 0.3=\log \frac{300-x}{x}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \log 2=\log \frac{300-x}{x}$

$\Rightarrow \quad 2=\frac{300-x}{x}$

$\Rightarrow \quad 2 x=300-x$

$\Rightarrow \quad 3 x=300 \Rightarrow x=100\, \mathrm{ml}$
