Which of the following conditions will make the buffer most efficient?A. `pH=pK_(a)`B. `pH=pH_(a)+-1`C. `pH=pK_(a)+1`D. `pH=pH_(a)-1` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A Since a buffer solution must maintaina relatively constant pH when either acid or base is added, it is usually desirable for the buffer to have roughly comparable the best case, when `[HA] = [A^(-)],1og[A^(-)]//[HA]=0`, and `pH=pK_(a)`. |
