Answer:

To maintain a pH value of 8.8 in a particular solution the best option is Tris or boric acid.

Explanation:

To decide a good acid/conjugate base pair it is necessary to know the pKa of the acids because every buffer has an optimal effective range due to pH = pKa ± 1. The closer the working pH is to the acid pKa, the buffer will be more effective. Below is the list of the pKa of the different option.

Acetic acid: pKa = 4.76

Boric acid: pKa1 = 9.24 pKa2 = 12.74 pKa3 = 13.80

Ascorbic acid: pKa1 = 4.17 pKa2 = 11.57

Tris:  pKa = 8.06

Acetic and Ascorbic acid are too far from the range of 8.8. Thus the best options are boric acid or Tris. To define between these two it is necessary to consider other factors like interaction between components of the solution and the ionic strength required.

stepan [7]

Answer:

a) Measurements have a good precision.

Explanation:

Accuracy is the proximity of the data to the value considered as real, in this situation we do not know the real value and we do not know if the data is accurate or not, so we can discard options b and d.

Now, precision is the proximity of the data obtained among themselves and that is what we can observe, so the appropriate answer is the option a.
