AIIMS2002ChemistryIonic Equilibrium
The pH of solution containing 0.10 M sodium acetate and 0.03 M acetic acid is ( p K_a . for . CH ₃ COOH =4.57 )
Options
- A4.09
- B6.09
- C5.09
- D7.09
Correct answer
C. 5.09
Step-by-step solution
According to Henderson's equation, aligned & pH = p K_a+ [ salt ] [ acid ] & CH ₃ COOH + NaOH CH ₃ COONa + H ₂ O aligned Putting the values, we get : aligned pH & =4.57+ 0.10 0.03 pH & =5.09 aligned
