If the pKa of lactic acid is 5, then the pH of 0.005 M calcium lactate solution at \(25^\circ \text{C}\) is \(\_\_\_\_\_\_ \times 10^{-1}\) (Nearest integer).
Lactic Acid
Arrange the following in increasing order of their pK\(_b\) values.
What is Z in the following set of reactions?
Acetophenone can be prepared from which of the following reactants?
What are \(X\) and \(Y\) in the following reactions?
What are \(X\) and \(Y\) respectively in the following reaction?
The buffer solution is a solution that is able to maintain its Hydrogen ion concentration (pH) with only minor changes on the dilution or addition of a small amount of either acid or base. They are used in fermentation, food preservatives, drug delivery, printing, the activity of enzymes and many more.
Buffer solutions are aqueous solutions containing a weak acid and its salt - acid buffer or a weak base and its salt - base buffer.
These solutions are used to maintain acidic environments. Also, it has acidic pH and is prepared by mixing a weak acid and its salt with a strong base. An aqueous solution of an equal concentration of acetic acid and sodium acetate has a pH of 4.74.
These solutions are used to maintain basic conditions. It has a basic pH and is prepared by mixing a weak base and its salt with strong acid. The aqueous solution of an equal concentration of ammonium hydroxide and ammonium chloride has a pH of 9.25.
