MCQ
What is the $pH$ of a solution prepared by mixing $20\, ml$. of $0.250\, M$ sodium formate with $30\, mL$ of $0.100\, M \,HCl\, (pK_a$ for $HCOOH = 3.75)$ :-
- ✓$3.57$
- B$4.18$
- C$5.22$
- DNone
$t=0$ $0.25\times 20\,ml$ $0.1\times 30\,ml$ $0$ $0$
$=5$ milli-mole $=3$ milli-mole
End $2$ milli-mole $0$ $3$ milli-mole $3$ milli-mole
${\text{pH}} = {\text{p}}{{\text{K}}_{\text{a}}} + \log \frac{{[{\text{HCOONa}}]}}{{[{\text{HCOOH}}]}}$
$ = 3.75 + \log \frac{{(2/50\,{\text{ml}})}}{{(3/50\,{\text{ml}})}} = 3.57$
