JEE Main2017ChemistryIonic EquilibriumActual
pK a of a weak acid HA and pK b of a weak base BOH are 3.2 and 3.4 respectively. The pH of their salt AB solution at 25 o C is
Options
- A6.9
- B7.0
- C1.0
- D7.2
Correct answer
A. 6.9
Step-by-step solution
Hydrolysis of salt of weak acid and weak base pH = 1 2 pK w + pK a − pK b = 1 2 14 + 3.2 - 3.4 = 6.9
