Question

Consider the following equilibrium:

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanataion

Explanation:

Buffer solutions are defined as solutions containing a weak electrolyte (wk acid or wk base) and the salt of the weak electrolyte.

Given HF(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O(l) + F⁻, a buffer solution would result from a solution composition when  [F -] is equal to [HF]. Such is commonly referred to as a 50/50 buffer as the acid and salt are in equal concentrations. However, a buffer solution still will exist even if the concentrations of acid and salt are not equal. The presence of the weak acid or weak base and the salt of the electrolytes is the only requirement.

Answer 2

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Buffer has equal concentrations of A- and HA.

B. when [F -] is equal to [HF]
