Buffer Solutions
Buffer Solutions: Overview
This topic discusses the buffer solution. It explains general properties and examples of buffer solution. Designing of buffer solution along with some properties of the acidic and basic buffer is also mentioned here.
Important Questions on Buffer Solutions
What is the concentration of sodium acetate that needs to be added to a solution of acetic acid with equal volumes to give a solution of

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
