The pK a of a weak acid, HA, is 4.80. The pKb of a weak base, BOH is 4.78. The pH of an aqueous solution of the corresponding salt, BA, will be

(a) 9.22 

(b) 9.58

(c) 4.79 

(d) 7.01

(d) : Given that pKa = 4.8 and pKb = 4.78
Therefore,  pH = 7 + 1/2 (pK a – pKb )
= 7 + 1/2 (4.80 – 4.78) = 7.01

Attempt titrating an amino acid against a weak base and discover the number of dissociating (ionizable) functional groups in the amino acid.

Titrating a neutral or basic amino acid against a weak base will dissociate only one functional group, whereas titration between acidic amino acid and a weak acid will dissociate two...

State reasons for the following: (i) pKb value for aniline is more than that for methylamine.

(i) In aniline, the lone pair of electrons on N-atom are delocalised over benzene ring due to resonance. As a result, electron density on the nitrogen atom decreases. In contrast,...

Explain with an example that strong acids have very weak conjugate bases and a strong base have a very weak conjugate acid.

HCl + HOH -------->  Cl- + H3O+  CH3COOH + HOH -------->  CH3COO- + H3O+  HCl is strong acid but chloride ion is a weak base similarly CH3COOH is weak acid but CH3COO-...
