6-2.Equilibrium-II (Ionic Equilibrium)
hard
The dissociation constant of a substituted benzoic acid at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $1.0 \times 10^{-4}$. The $\mathrm{pH}$ of a $0.01 \ \mathrm{M}$ solution of its sodium salt is
A
$5$
B
$2$
C
$8$
D
$9$
(IIT-2009)
Solution
Sodium salt of benzoic acid is a strong base-weak acid salt and its pH is given as follows:
PH$= \frac{(PKw+pKa+logC)}{2}$ $= \frac{14+4-2}{2}$$=7+2-1=8$
