The dissociation constant of a weak acid is . In order to prepare a buffer solution with a pH , the [Salt]/ [Acid] ratio should be:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
\begin{aligned}
& 5=\log \left[1 \times 10^{-4}\right]+\log \frac{[\text{ Salt }]}{[\text{ Acid }]} \\
& 5=4+\log \frac{[\text{ Salt }]}{[\text{ Acid }]} \\
& \frac{[\text{ Salt }]}{[\text{ Acid }]}=10: 1
\end{aligned}
