Which of the following is an equation used to calculate the pH of a buffer solution for an acidic buffer?(a) pH = pKa + log[salt]/[acid](b) pOH = pKa + log[salt]/[acid](c) pH = pKb + log[salt]/[acid](d) pH = pKa + log[salt][acid]This question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.My doubt stems from Equilibrium topic in division Equilibrium of Chemistry – Class 11 |

Answer» CORRECT option is (a) PH = PKA + LOG[salt]/[ACID] The best I can explain: Equation that is used to calculate the pH of a buffer solution for an acidic buffer is pH = pKa + log[salt]/[acid]. This equation is known as henderson-hasselbalch equation, it is used for making of buffer solutions. |
