    A buffer solution contains 0.1 mole of sodium acetate in \[\text{1}000\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}\]of 0.1 M acetic acid. To the above buffer solution, 0.1 mole of sodium acetate is further added and dissolved. The pH of the resulting buffer is equal to

    A) \[p{{K}_{a}}-\log 2\]                      

    B) \[p{{K}_{a}}\]

    C) \[p{{K}_{a}}+2\]              

    D) \[p{{K}_{a}}+\log 2\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Initiallly \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{COONa }\!\!]\!\!\text{  = 0}\text{.1mol}\] \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ C}{{\text{H}}_{3}}\text{COOH }\!\!]\!\!\text{  = 0}\text{.1mol}\] When \[\text{0}\text{.1mol C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{COONa}\]is added. \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ C}{{\text{H}}_{3}}\text{COONa }\!\!]\!\!\text{  = 0}\text{.1+ 0}\text{.1= 0}\text{.2mol}\] \[\text{pH = p}{{\text{K}}_{\text{a}}}\text{+log}\frac{\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ salt }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }}{\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ acid }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }}\] \[\text{= p}{{\text{K}}_{a}}+\log \frac{02}{0.1}=p{{K}_{a}}+\log 2\]
