Assertion: If a K of HA is 10–3 and a K of HB is 10 at 25ºC, pH of an aqueous solution of HB will be one unit greater than pH of equimolar solution of HA. Reason: For weak acids, both concentration and ionization constant affect the pH.

Explanation
In case of weak acid Hx H x H C For every weak acid, a K C Thus, a H K C x . This line means that the hydrogen ion concentration of the weak acids depends on the value of ionization constant and the concentration both. Thus, the reason is true. So, if we assume HA HB 1M Then, 3 HA H 10 1 x and 4 HB H 10 Hence, 2 HA 2 HB H 3.16 10 H 10 x Thus, pH of HA = 1.50 pH= HB = 2
