3.
Acidic buffer is made up of
a)
weak acid and weak base
b)
weak acid and its conjugate salt
c)
weak acid and its conjugate base
d)

4.

a buffer solution is made of mixture of aqueous methanoic acid, HCOOH, with aqueous sodium methanoate, NaHCOO.


the equilibrium reaction takes place in buffer solution is :

HCOOH ↔ HCOO- + H+


small amount of NaOH is then added to that buffer solution.


What reaction take places at the buffer solution to resist change of pH caused by addition of base?

a)

HCOOH + H+ → HCOOH2

b)

HCOO- + H+ → HCOOH

c)

HCOOH + OH- → HCOO- + H2O

d)

HCOO- + OH- → COO2- + H2O

5.

a buffer solution is made of mixture of aqueous ethanoic acid, CH3COOH, with aqueous potassium ethanoate, KCH3COO.


the equilibrium reaction takes place in buffer solution is :

CH3COOH ↔ CH3COO- + H+


small amount of HCl is then added to that buffer solution.


What reaction take places at the buffer solution to resist change of pH caused by addition of acid?

a)

CH3COO- + H+ → CH3COOH

b)

CH3COO- + OH- → CH2COO2- + H2O

c)

CH3COOH + H+ → CH3COOH2

d)

CH3COOH + OH- → CH3COO- + H2O

6.

a buffer solution is made by mixing HA, a weak acid, with salts containing A- ions.


HA ↔ H+ + A-

a)
Our blood and other bodily fluids might become too acidic or basic.
b)
Our stomach acid would not be able to break down food.
c)
