NEET2021ChemistryIonic EquilibriumActual
The pK b of dimethylamine and pK a of acetic acid are 3 . 27 and 4 . 77 respectively at T ( K ) . The correct option for the pH of dimethylammonium acetate solution is:
Options
- A8 . 50
- B5 . 50
- C7 . 75
- D6 . 25
Correct answer
C. 7 . 75
Step-by-step solution
pk b of dimethylamine = 3 . 27 pk a of acetic acid = 4 . 77 Dimethylammonium acetate is salt of weak acid and weak base for which pH is: pH = 7 + 1 2 pk a - 1 2 pK b = 7 + 1 2 × 4 . 77 - 1 2 × 3 . 27 = 7 . 75
