Question
A butter mixture is required to buffer a solution at pH 6.1. Which of the two weak
acids, along with their conjugate bases, would you choose to make this buffer.
Choose the acid and the correct explanation:
Acid K₂₁
Acid 1 6.1 x 10-6
Acid 2 7.9 x 10-7
Which acid is
chosen?
This acid is
chosen because
Drag answer here
Drag answer here.
acid 1 has K₂ = 6.1; therefore has
buffer action centred on that pH = K₂
Acid 1
acid 1 has pK, = 6.1; therefore has
buffer action centred on that pH=
pka
Acid 2
acid 2 has pK, = 6.1; therefore has
buffer action centred on that pH=
pka
