[jpd5184]

Homework Statement

ka= 5.293 x 10^-6

using Ka, calculate the ph of a solution that contains equal concentrations of HB and B-.

Homework Equations

ph = -log[H+]

The Attempt at a Solution

im guessing that HB is the acid and B- is the base

 

[Borek]

These are acid and conjugate base.

Read on Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
