A solution containing a weak acid and its conjugate base acts as an acidic buffer. In a buffer the dissociation of the weak acid is suppressed by its conjugate base. (K_(1),K_(2), and K_(3) of H_(3)PO_(4) , are 10^(-4), 10^(-8), 10^(-13) respectively What is the pH of a solution obtained by mixing 100ml of 0.1 MH_(3) PO_(4) , and 150ml of 0.IM NaOH

pK_(a) of a weak acid is defined as :

How are pK_(a) values related to acid strength of an acid?

If ionisation constant of an acid (HA) at equlibrium is 1.0xx10^(-8) then calculate the value of pK_(a) and pK_(b) (for its conjugate base)

If degree of dissociation is 0.01 of decimolar solution of weak acid HA then pK_(a) of acid is :

Pure water is netural in nature [H^(+)]=[OH^(-)]. When this condition is disturbed by changing the concentration of H^(+)or OH^(-), the natural solution changes to acidic {[H^(+)]gt[OH^(-)]} or basic {[H^(+)]lt[OH^(-)]}.
