Addition of sodium hydroxide solution to a weak acid (HA) results in a buffer of pH 6. If ionization constant of HA is 10 - 5 , the ratio of salt to acid concentration in the buffer solution will be:

Options

  1. A10 : 1
  2. B4 : 5
  3. C5 : 4
  4. D1 : 10

Correct answer

A. 10 : 1

Step-by-step solution

p H = p k a + l o g S a l t A c i d ⇒ 6 = 5 + log ⁡ S a l t A c i d ⇒ 1 = log ⁡ S a l t A c i d ⇒ l o g 10 = log ⁡ S a l t A c i d S a l t a c i d = 10 1
