Transcribed Image Text:Consider a buffer comprised of a weak acid (HA), pKa = 5.0) and its conjugate base
(A¯). Which of the following statements about this buffer is/are true?
The buffer is better able to absorb excess base at pH 4 than at pH 6.
At pH values lower than the pKa, the concentration of the weak acid (HA) is
higher than the concentration of the conjugate base (A).
The pH of a buffered solution will remain constant no matter how much acid or
base is added to the solution.
The capacity of the buffer would be increased if equal concentrations of HCl and
NaOH were added.
When the pH = 5.0, the concentration of the weak acid (HA) is equal to the
concentration of the salt (A´¯).

Step 1: Buffer solution
Buffer solution : It is an acid or a base aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa.. Its pH changes very little when a small amount of strong acid or base is added to it.
