What is the ratio of concentration of salt to concentration of weak acid in buffer solution to maintain its pH value 7.2 ( pK _ a =6.2 ) .
Options
- A1.5
- B10.0
- C5.0
- D8.5
Correct answer
B. 10.0
Step-by-step solution
aligned & pH = pKa + [ Salt ] [ Acid ] & 7.2=6.2+ [ Salt ] [ Acid ] & 1= [ Salt ] [ Acid ] = ₁₀ 10 & [ Salt ] [ Acid ] =10 aligned
