Question

Benzoic acid (C6H5CO2H = HBz) solutions are sometimes used in experiments to determine the molarity of a basic solution of unknown concentration. What is the pH of a 0.100 M solution of benzoic acid if Ka= 6.5 10-5and the equilibrium equation of interest is
HBz(aq) + H2O(l) H3O++ Bz-(aq)?
A) 1.00
B) 2.59
C) 4.19
D) 5.19
