Hey there!:
K = Ka * Kb / Kw
Ka = 1.8*10⁻⁴
Kb = 10⁻¹⁴ / 6.8*10⁻⁴
K = 1.8*10⁻⁴ * ( 10⁻¹⁴/ 6.8*10⁻⁴ ) * ( 1 / 10⁻¹⁴ )
K = = 1.8 / 6.8
K = 0.265
Answer A
Therefore:
K is less than on the forward reaction is not favorable .
Hope That helps!
Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
An aqueous solution that consists of a mixture of weak base and its conjugate acid or a weak acid and its conjugate base is known as a buffer.
When we add a strong acid or base into this mixture then the change in pH of this mixture is very small.
In a buffer solution, pH depends on the ratio of concentration of base divided by concentration of acid.
It is known that for a given temperature, the value of
remains constant.
Therefore, relation between pH and
will be as follows.
pH =
Thus, we can conclude that the purpose of an acid-base buffer is to maintain a relatively constant pH in a solution.
