Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 11.5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Key Idea From Henderson-Hesselbalch equation \(p H=\mathrm{p} K_a+\log \frac{[\text { salt] }}{\text { [acid] }}\) \(\mathrm{pH}\) of a buffer solution \(=10.5\) \(\mathrm{p} K_a\) of this buffer solution can be calculated as:…
