Total milliequivalents of acid = milliequivalents of base = 26.6 x 0.1 = 2.66But the resultant mixture has HA leftThe reaction is as follows: HA + BOH \rightarrow BA + H2Ot=0 2.66 12 0 0t1 1.46 0 1.2 1.2Therefore for a buffer solution,pH = pKa+\log \frac{\left [ salt \right ]}{\left [ acid \right ]}\Rightarrow 5 = pKa+\log \frac{1.2}{1.46}\Rightarrow \log Ka = -5.86\Rightarrow Ka = 8.21 \times 10^{-6}
