Answer:
a. Phosphoric Acid
b. Acetic Acid
c. Hypochlorous Acid
Explanation:
A buffer works when the pH of this one is in pKa ± 1. That means, to find which buffer system works in some pH you need to find pKa:
pKa = -log Ka
<em>pKa Acetic acid:</em>
-log1.8x10⁻⁵ = 4.74
<em>pKa phosphoric acid:</em>
-log7.5x10⁻³ = 2.12
<em>pKa hypochlorous acid:</em>
-log3.5x10⁻⁸ = 7.46
a. For a pH of 2.8 the best choice is phophoric acid because its effective range is: 1.12 - 3.12 and 2.8 is between these values.
b. pH 4.5. Acetic acid. effective between pH's 3.74 - 5.74
c. pH 7.5. Hypochlorous acid that works between 6.46 and 8.46
In my opinion yes, as of now, almost anyone could get there hands on lets say an explosive. Have you heard of dynamite fishing? It is illegal, but it is still done once people have access to dynamite, then what ends up happening not only do marine wildlife get killed but it pollutes the water and lessens the chance of the natural cycle of life. Also there are several other factors, firstly, what will you do with an explosive once you get your hands on it? Perhaps you could just use an explosive for fun/personal entertainment...that isn't right and it could harm people. So, to conclude the harder it is for people to access explosives or even acclerants the better...and to add this can be possible by making people get like some sort of licence to use them, and let them be trained in certain conditions so that there is no regrets once they have access to them. I know my idea sounds far fetched but its a thought!
The answer is atoms good luck
