A certain buffer solution contains equal concentration of X - and HX . The K a for HX is 1 0 - 8 . The pH of the buffer is
Correct answer
8.00
Step-by-step solution
The Henderson equation is p H = p K a + log C o n j u g a t e base A c i d = - log K a + log X - H X Hence, [ H X ] = X - = - log ( 1 0 - 8 ) + log 1 or pH = 8.0.
