pH ^ of an acid buffer is given by
Options
- ApH = pK _ a + [ Salt ] [ Acid ]
- BpH = pK _ a - [ Salt ] [ Acid ]
- CpH = K _ a + [ Salt ] [ Acid ]
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
A. pH = pK _ a + [ Salt ] [ Acid ]
Step-by-step solution
pH of an acid buffer is given by Henderson equation. pH =- K_a+ [ Salt ] [ Acid ] or pH = p K_a+ [ Salt ] [ Acid ]
