The correct Answer is:
To determine the salt whose pH is independent of its concentration, we need to analyze the properties of different types of salts. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Types of Salts**: - Salts can be formed from strong acids and strong bases, weak acids and strong bases, strong acids and weak bases, or weak acids and weak bases. - Salts derived from weak acids and weak bases are of particular interest here. 2. **Identify Amphiprotic Salts**: - Amphiprotic salts can act as either an acid or a base. Their pH is not dependent on concentration because they can donate or accept protons depending on the environment. - The pH of amphiprotic salts can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{pH} = \frac{\text{pKa}_1 + \text{pKa}_2}{2} \] 3. **Consider Weak Acid and Weak Base Salts**: - The pH of salts formed from weak acids and weak bases is also independent of concentration. The formula for calculating their pH is: \[ \text{pH} = \frac{1}{2} \text{pK}_w + \text{pKa} - \text{pKb} \] - Here, \( \text{pK}_w \) is the ion product of water. 4. **Evaluate the Options**: - If the question provides options, you would need to identify which salts are amphiprotic or formed from weak acids and weak bases. - All such salts will have a pH that does not change with concentration. 5. **Conclusion**: - The salts whose pH is independent of concentration are those that are either amphiprotic or formed from weak acids and weak bases. ### Final Answer: The pH of amphiprotic salts and salts formed from weak acids and weak bases is independent of their concentration.
