The pH of a solution which is 0.023 m in weak base and 0 037 m in the conjugate weak acid whose Ka= 7.1 × 10⁻⁶ is 4.93.
pH determines the amount of hydrogen and hydroxide ions in a solution. It is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
Given,
Ka= 7.1 × 10⁻⁶
Weak base = 0.023M
Acid = 0.037M
Using base dissociation constant, Ka we can calculate pKa by:
pKa = -log [Ka]
pKa = -log [7.1 × 10⁻⁶]
pKa = 5.15
A weak base and its conjugate acid are present in equal proportions in buffer solution. Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, we can find out the pH of a buffer solution that constitutes a weak base and its conjugate acid.
Using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log [Weak base / acid]
pH = 5.15 + log [0.023 / 0.037]
pH = 5.15 + log[0.6]
pH = 5.15 - 0.22
pH = 4.93
Therefore, the pH of the solution is 4.93.
