Question
For two weak monobasic acids $HA_1$ and $HA_2$ to form isohydric solutions when dissolved in the same solvent, which condition must hold true?
Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
Isohydric solutions have the same $[H^+]$. For weak acids, $[H^+] = \sqrt{K_a C}$. Equating them gives $\sqrt{K_{a1}C_1} = \sqrt{K_{a2}C_2}$, which squares to $K_{a1}C_1 = K_{a2}C_2$.
