What fraction of an indicator (Hln) is in basic form at a pH of 6 if the p K a of the indicator is 5 ?
Options
- A1 2
- B1 11
- C10 11
- D1 10
Correct answer
C. 10 11
Step-by-step solution
p H = p K a + l o g ( I n - ) ( H I n ) 6 = 5 + l o g ( I n - ) ( H I n ) ( I n - ) ( H I n ) = 1 0 ( I n - ) ( I n - ) + ( H I n ) = 10 11
