pH of an acidic buffer is given by

A

`pH = pK_(a) +log.(["salt"])/(["acid"])`

B

`pH = pK_(a) -log.(["salt"])/(["acid"])`

C

`pH = (1)/(2)pK_(a) +log.(["salt"])/(["acid"])`

D

`pH = log K_(a) +log.(["salt"])/(["acid"])`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

pH of an acidic buffer solution is 5.74 and PK (CH_3COOH) = 4.74 then the ratio of [Salt]/[Acid] will be

Assertion : The pH of a basic buffer mixture is given by: pH=pK_(a)+log(([Base])/([conjugate acid])) Reason : The pH of an acidic buffer mixture is given by: pH=pK_(a)+log(([conjugate acid])/([Acid]))

The pH of an acidic buffer can be raised by 2 units by

The pH of an acidic buffer mixture is:

The Ph of basic buffer mixtures is given by : Ph=Pk_(a)+ log (["Base"])/(["Salt"]) whereas Ph of acidic buffer mixtures is given by : Ph = pK_(a)+"log"(["Salt"])/(["Acid"]) . Addition of little acid or base although shows no appreciable change in Ph for all practical purposes, but sicne the ratio (["Base"])/(["Salt"]) or (["Salt"])/(["Acid"]) changes, a slight decrease or increase in pH results. The volume of 0.2 m NaOH needed to prepare a buffer of pH 4.74 with 50 mL of 0.2 m acetic acid pH_(b) of CH_(3)COO^(-)=9.26 is :
