Q14 / 90 · JEE Main 2017 (02 Apr) · Chemistry

pK a of a weak acid HA and pK b of a weak base BOH are 3.2 and 3.4 respectively. The pH of their salt AB solution at 25 o C is

  • Correct answer
    A
    6.9
  • B
    7.0
  • C
    1.0
  • D
    7.2

Solution

Hydrolysis of  salt of weak acid and weak base

pH= 1 2 pK w + pK a − pK b

=1214+3.2-3.4

=6.9

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
