A cetrain buffer solution contains equal concentration of `X^(-)` and HX. Calculate pH of buffer. `(K_(b)for X^(-)is 10^(-10))`

A

`4`

B

`7`

C

`10`

D

`14`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`K_(a) xx K_(b) = 10^(-14)` for a pair of cojugate acid base
`K_(b) for X^(Theta) = 10^(-10)`
`K_(a) for HX = 10^(-4), pK_(a) = 4`
`pH = pK_(a) + "log" ([X^(Theta)])/([HX])`
`= pK_(a) = 4`.
