Answer:

(C) arsenious acid, Ka = 6 x 10⁻¹⁰

Explanation:

A buffer is prepared by a weak acid and the conjugate base coming from its salt. Its function is to resist abrupt changes in pH when an acid or a base are added. The best working range of a buffer is in the range of pKa ± 1. Let's consider the 5 options and their pKa (pKa = -log Ka).

(A) phthalic acid, K1 = 1.3 x 10⁻³ (1st ionization)     pKa = 2.9

(B) hydrogen phthalate, K2 = 3.9 x 10⁻⁵                pKa = 4.4

(C) arsenious acid, Ka = 6 x 10⁻¹⁰                           pKa = 9

(D) formic acid, Ka = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵                               pKa = 4.7

(E) phenol, Ka = 1.3 x 10⁻¹⁰                                      pKa = 9.8

The acid whose pKa is closer to the desired pH is arsenious acid. Its working range of pH is 8 - 10. In the second place, phenol could work as a buffer system since the working pH range is 8.8 - 10.8.

Wind : swirls :: chemical bond : ___________.
drek231 [11]
Options are as follow,

1)  Flashes
2)  Skips
3)  Stretches
<span>4)  Jumps
</span>
Answer:
            Option-3 (stretches) is the correct answer.

Explanation:
                    The best analogy which suits a chemical bond is the stretching of chemical bonds. Remaining verbs doesn't explain the property of chemical bond. For example, the chemical bonds did not flashes, neither they skip or jump.
                    The chemical bonds can stretch and bend. As predicted from IR spectroscopy, different bonds can stretch and bend at different energies. The stretching of bonds require more energy while, bending of bonds require less energy.
