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

The dissociation constant of acetic is \(x \times 10^{-5}\). When \(25 mL\) of \(0.2\,M\,CH COO _3 COO\) solution is mixed with \(25\,mL\) of \(0.02\,M\,CH { }_3 COOH\) solution, the \(pH\) of the resultant solution is found to be equal to 5 . The value of \(x\) is \(..........\).

  1. A \(100\)
  2. B \(12\)
  3. C \(10\)
  4. D \(18\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Buffer of \(HOAc\) and \(NaOAc\) \(pH = pKa +\log \frac{0.1}{0.01}\) \(5= pKa +1\) \(pKa =4\) \(Ka =10^{-4}\) \(x =10\)
