90 mL
10 mL
Which statement is TRUE of the resulting buffers?
A) pH of buffer 1 < pH of buffer 2 < pH of buffer 3
B) pH of buffer 1 = pH of buffer 2 = pH of buffer 3
C) pH of buffer 1> pH of buffer 2 > pH of buffer 3
D) The problem cannot be solved without knowing the value of pK..
E) None of the statements is true.
