1.

The buffer solution is able to maintain pH by some events, except . . .

a)

The addition of a little acid

b)

The addition of a little base

c)

Dilution

d)

Addition of water

e)

The addition of excess acid

2.

a)

NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4

b)

NH3 and (NH4)2SO4

c)

HCOOH and Ba(HCOO)2

d)

H3PO4 and NaH2PO4

e)

3.

Which of the following statements ARE TRUE about buffer solution?


(you may choose more than one answer)

a)

pH of buffer solution will never change despite addition of small amount of base or acid

b)

Buffer can be made by mixing weak acid and salt of its conjugate base or by mixing weak base with salt of its conjugate acid

c)

Buffer has acid and base components that can work specifically to resist pH change

d)

the closer the ratio of concentration weak acid/base to the concentration of salt of its conjugate base/acid, the less effective the buffer to resist pH change

4.

b)

strong base + weak acid (in excess)

c)

weak acid + salt of its conjugate base

d)

weak base + salt of its conjugate acid

e)

strong acid (in excess) + strong base
