Choose the wrong statement from the following:

For preparing a buffer solution of , by mixing ammonium chloride and ammonium hydroxide, the ratio of concentrations of salt and base should be_______

A student prepares 2 L buffer solution of 0.3 M NaH2PO4 and 0.3 M Na2HPO4. The solution is divided in half between the two compartments (each containing 1 L buffer) of an electrolysis cell, using Pt electrodes. Assume that the only reaction is the electrolysis of water and the electrolysis is carried out for 200 min with a constant current of 0.965 A.
[Given log 2.33 = 0.37]
pH at anode is

For next two question please follow the same

Blood is a buffer of H2CO3 and HCO3- with pH of 7.4. What will be the ratio of HCO3- to H2CO3 in blood.

The ionisation constant of $\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}$ in water is $5.6 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{at}$ $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ The rate constant for the reaction of $\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}$ and $\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ to form $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $3.4 \times 10^{10}$ litre
$\mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{sec}^{-1} .$ If equilibrium constant of water at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $1.8 \times 10^{-16},$ thenThe of a mixture of
