Answer:
The answer is D. 0.60 L
Explanation:
The balanced reaction equation including states of matter is;
H₂SO₄(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na₂SO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l)
More simple:
H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O
Now, we can see from this reaction equation that the mole ratio of NaOH to H2SO4 is 2:1
Number of moles of H2SO4 reacted = 1.2 moles
Hence;
2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H2SO4
x moles of NaOH reacts with 1.2 moles of H2SO4
x = 2 * 1.2/1 = 2.4 moles of NaOH
Recall that;
Number of moles = Concentration * Volume
Volume = number of moles/concentration
Volume of NaOH is obtained from;
Volume = 2.4 moles/ 4.0 M
Volume = 0.60 L
Answer:
Buffer B has the highest buffer capacity.
Buffer C has the lowest buffer capacity.
Explanation:
An effective weak acid-conjugate base buffer should have pH equal to
of the weak acid. For buffers with the same pH, higher the concentrations of the components in a buffer, higher will the buffer capacity.
Acetic acid is a weak acid and
is the conjugate base So, all the given buffers are weak acid-conjugate base buffers. The pH of these buffers are expressed as (Henderson-Hasselbalch):
![pH=pK_{a}(CH_{3}COOH)+log\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_%7Ba%7D%28CH_%7B3%7DCOOH%29%2Blog%5Cfrac%7B%5BCH_%7B3%7DCOO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BCH_%7B3%7DCOOH%5D%7D)

Buffer A: 
Buffer B: 
Buffer C: 
So, both buffer A and buffer B has same pH value which is also equal to
. Buffer B has higher concentrations of the components as compared to buffer A, Hence, buffer B has the highest buffer capacity.
The pH of buffer C is far away from
. Therefore, buffer C has the lowest buffer capacity.
