A buffer contains the weak acid HA and its conjugate base A-. the weak acid has a p Ka of 4.82 and the buffer has a pH of 4.25. Which statement is true of the relative concentration of the weak acid and its conjugate base in the buffer?

A[HA} > [A-]
B[Ha} < [A-]
C[HA]=[A-]

Verified Answer :

I think the correct answer is A. A
buffer is a substance that resists small change in the acidity of a solution
when an acid or base is added to the solution. Usually, a buffer involves a
weak acid or a weak alkali and one of its salt.
