What is the ratio of concentration of salt to concentration of weak acid in buffer solution to maintain its pH value \(7.2\left(\mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{a}}=6.2\right)\).
- A 1.5
- B 10
- C 5
- D 8.5
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 10
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{pH}=\mathrm{pKa}+\log \frac{[\text { Salt }]}{[\text { Acid }]} \\ & 7.2=6.2+\log \frac{[\text { Salt }]}{[\text { Acid }]} \\ & 1=\log \frac{[\text { Salt }]}{[\text { Acid }]}=\log _{10} 10 \\ \therefore \quad & \frac{[\text { Salt }]}{[\text { Acid }]}=10\end{aligned}\)
