ANSWER:

Problem 15.125

Consider a buffered solution containing . Which of the following statements concerning this solution is(are) true? .

a.  A solution consisting of  would have a higher buffering capacity than one containing  .

b.  If , then the pH is larger than the  value.

c.  Adding more  to the initial buffer solution will decrease the pH.

d.  If , then pH  3.36.

e. If , then pH = 10.64.

                                                             Step by step solution

Step 1 of 5

(a)  Statement-A solution consisting of  and  would have a higher buffering capacity that one containing  .

No, the buffering capacity does not depend on the quantity of the component of the buffer solution depending on the amount of  present.

Thus, this statement is not true.
