Important Questions on Buffer Solutions
The pH of the solution can be kept constant with the help of


Which of the following pairs will not constitute a buffer solution?

A buffer solution can be prepared by mixing equal volumes of

Among the following, the correct statement is

Choose the wrong statement from the following:

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

The number of moles of an acid or base added to one litre of the buffer solution so as to change its by one unit is called_____of the buffer.

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

Consider the titration of weak monobasic acid HA using 0.1 M NaOH. If initially 100 mL of 0.1 M HA is taken then find the volume of NaOH (in mL) added so that pH of mixture become equal to 5.

The number of grams/weight of required to be added to 3 litres of 0.01 M to prepare the buffer of at temperature 298 K is

In the neutralization process of H3PO4 and NaOH, the number of buffers formed will be-
