A buffer solution contains 0.1 mole of sodium acetate in `1000 cm^(3)` of 0.1 M acetic acid. To the above buffer solutions, 0.1 mole of sodium acetate is further added and dissolved. The pH of the resulting buffer is equal to............A. `pK_(a) - log_(2)`B. `pK_(a)`C. `pK_(a) + 2`D. `pK_(a) + log 2`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`pH = pK_(a) + log.(["Salt"])/(["Acid"])`
`["Salt"] = (0.1 + 0.1)/(1000 ml) = (0.2)/(1) = 0.2`
`["Acid"] = (0.1)/(1000 ml) = (0.1)/(1) = 0.1`
`pH = pK_(a) + log 2`
`:. pH = 14 - 2 rArr pH = 12`.
