ChemistryEquilibriumJEE Main

Acetic acid and propionic acid have Ka values 1.75×10⁻⁵ and 1.3×10⁻⁵ respectively at a certain temperature. An equimolar solution of a mixture of the two acids is partially neutralized by NaOH. How is the ratio of the contents of acetate and propionate ions related to the Ka values and the molarity?

Answer: (A)

Solution

The competing ionisation fractions in a mixed-acid partial neutralisation are proportional to the respective Ka values.
