Identify a mixture from the following solution pairs where equal volumes of the two solutions, when mixed together, will lead to the formation of a buffer.
a) 0.13 M HCl with 0.15 M NaOH
b) 0.13 M H2SO4 with 0.13 M Na2CO3
c) 0.26 M HCN with 0.13 M KOH
d) 0.10 M NH4Cl with 0.20 M HCl
The image below shows a buffer with equal amounts of weak acid, HA, and its conjugate base, Aā. If the column heights pertain to the amount of component present, select the image that shows the buffer after a strong acid is added.
For a buffer of pH 9.5, which of the following weak acid-conjugate base mixtures would you choose? Explain your choice.
a) CH3COOH and NaCH3COO
b) NH4Cl and NH3
c) HCOOH and NaHCOO
Identify whether the solution of the following compounds results in a buffer:
250.0 mL 0.25 M CHCOOH and 105.0 mL of 0.050 M HCl
