A weak acid of dissociation constant \(10^{-5}\) is being titrated with aqueous \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) solution. The \(\mathrm{pH}\) at the point of one-third neutralisation of the acid will be

  1. A \(5+\log 2-\log 3\)
  2. B \(5-\log 2\)
  3. C \(5-\log 3\)
  4. D \(5-\log 6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5-\log 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints: \(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}}=10^{-5} \Rightarrow \mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{a}}=-\log \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}}=-\log 10^{-5}=5\)…
