JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 6.2. Equilibrium - II (icon Equilibrium)

If the \(pKa\) of lactic acid is \(5\),then the \(pH\) of \(0.005\) \(M\) calcium lactate solution at \(25^{\circ}\,C\) is \(........\times 10^{-1}\) (Nearest integer)

  1. A \(85\)
  2. B \(84\)
  3. C \(83\)
  4. D \(82\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(85\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Concentration of calcium lactate \(=0.005\,M ,:\) concentration of lactate ion \(=(2 \times 0.005)\,M\). Calcium lactate is a salt of weak acid \(+\) strong base \(\therefore\) Salt hydrolysis will take place. \(pH =7+\frac{1}{2}( pKa +\log C )\)…
