Answer:
B) The pH of a buffer solution does not change significantly when a small amount of acid is added.
C) The pH of a buffer solution is determined by the ratio of the concentration of acid to the concentration of base.
Explanation:
Buffer solution is useful in maintaining the pH of a solution constant . It is made of a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and its salt . Ph of a buffer is given by the following relation .
pH = pKa + log [ A⁻ ] / [ HA ]
A- is a base and HA is a weak acid .
When we add acid , it reacts with A⁻ or base and gets neutralised .
When we add base , it reacts with acid HA and gets neutralised . In this way it maintains the pH of the solution .
