NEET2001ChemistryIonic EquilibriumActual
The pH of aqueous solution of ammonium formate is ( p K_a . of HCOOH =3.8 and p K_b of . NH ₃=4.8 )
Options
- A7
- B6.0
- C6.5
- D8.9
Correct answer
C. 6.5
Step-by-step solution
For a salt of weak acid and weak base, its pH =7+ 1 2 p K_a- 1 2 p K_b =7+ 1 2 3.8- 1 2 4.8=6.5
