The ph of the best buffer is 4.74
The given acetic acid is a weak acid
The equation of the pH of the buffer
pH = pKa + log ( conjugate base / weak acid ).
For best buffer the concentration of the weak acid and its conjugate base is equal.
pH = pKa + log 1
pH = pKa + 0
pH = pKa
given Ka = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵
pKa = - log ka
pH = -log ( 1.8 × 10⁻⁵ )
pH = 4. 74
Hence the pH of the best buffer is 4.74

Answer:
a free swimming larval stage in which a parasitic fluke passes from an intermediate host to another intermediate host
To find the chemical formula of an ionic compound, the first step is to find the charge of the 2 ions. As given already, the charge of sodium ion is 1+, and carbonate ion has a charge of 2-. We can picture it like that: Sodium ion loses 1 electron and carbonate ion gains 2.
The next step is to find how the 2 ions can lose and gain electrons equally. In this case, since each Na ion only loses 1 electron, it cannot satisfy the need of one carbonate ion, since they need 2, not 1. Therefore, 2 Na ions can cover the need of one carbonate ion. So, the ratio of Na to CO3 ion should be 2:1.
Now just combine the 2 ions, positive one at the front, which makes it NaCO3, make sure you do not add the charge and notice that CO3 is a molecule itself so do not remove the 3. Now because the ratio is 2:1, so the final formula is Na2CO3, no need to add 1 if the ratio is 1.
Your answer should be Na2CO3.
