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
- A10 : 1
- B4 : 5
- C5 : 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
