A weak acid of dissociation constant `10^(-5)` is being titrated with aqueous NaOH solution . The pH at the point of one third of neutralization of the acid will beA. `5 + log - log 3`B. `5- log 2`C. `5- log 3`D. `5- log 6` |

Answer» Correct Answer - B On partial neutralization of weak acid, salt is formed. Hence it becomes buffer `:. pH =pK_(a)+log. (|"Salt"|)/(|"Acid"|).` `1//3` rd neutralization of the acid means out of 1 mole of the acid, salt formed is `= 1//3 ` mole of acid left `=2//3` mole `:. pH =-log (10^(-5))+log.(1//3)/(2//3)` `=5+log.(1)/(2)=5-log 2` |
