Grade 12Physical ChemistryThe pKa of a weak acid (HA) is 4.5. The pOH of an aqueous buffer solution of HA in which 50% of the acid is ionized is ? sudhanshu 12 Years agoGrade 12
ajju9 Years agoph =pka=4.5 ; this is because the ratio log [A^-]/[HA]=log o.5/0.5=0 hence, ph=pka in the formulla ph=pka+log [A^-]/[HA]hence, poh= 14-ph=14-4.5=9.5
Rishi Sharma6 Years agoDear Student,Please find below the solution to your problem.ph =pka=4.5this is because the ratio log [A^-]/[HA]=log o.5/0.5=0hence, ph=pkain the formulla ph=pka+log [A^-]/[HA]hence, poh= 14-ph=14-4.5=9.5Thanks and Regards
