JEE Main2014ChemistryIonic EquilibriumActual
Assuming that the degree of hydrolysis is small, the pH of 0.1 M solution of sodium acetate ( K _ a =1.0 10⁻⁵ ) will be:
Options
- A5.0
- B6.0
- C8.0
- D9.0
Correct answer
D. 9.0
Step-by-step solution
Sodium acetate is a salt of strong base and weak acid. aligned & pH =7+ 1 2 p K_a+ 1 2 c where & p k_a=- K_a=- 10⁻⁵=5 & c = 10⁻¹=-1 & pH =7+ 5 2 - 1 2 =9.0 aligned
