NEETChemistryIonic EquilibrumMCQ+4 / −1
The dissociation constant of weak acid is 1 104. In order to prepare a buffer solution with a pH = 5, the [Salt]/[Acid] ratio should be
- A4 : 5
- B10 : 1
- C5 : 4
- D1 : 10
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Given, Ka = 1 × 10–4
pKa = – log (1× 10–4) = 4
pH = pKa + log
5 = 4 + log
log = 1
= 10 = 10 : 1
