Question

Given a solution with pH > pKa,what are the relative concentrations of A^- and HA? A) [HA] > [A^-] B) [HA] < [A^-] C) [HA] = [A^-] D) [HA] = [A^-] = 1

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the solution has a pH > pKa, more of the acid (HA) will have dissociated into its conjugate base (A^-). Therefore, the concentration of [HA] will be lower than [A^-].
