2 ,   4 -dinitrophenol ( pKa   =   4 ) acts as buffer and if pH of this buffer is adjusted to 5 , the ratio of concentration of dissociated and undissociated molecules of 2 ,   4 -dinitrophenol is:
Options
- A1
- B10
- C12
- D0 . 01
Correct answer
B. 10
Step-by-step solution
pH = pK a + log C. Base acid (C.Base=Conjugate base) 5 = 4 + log C. Base acid log C. Base acid = 1 ∴   C. Base acid = Dissociated ions undissociated acid = 1 0
