CO/ H2CO3

b  

Na2SO/ H2SO4

c  

Na3PO/ H3PO4

d  

NaCl / HCl

 

3. The pH of the buffer will NOT change after the addition of large amounts of water

 True

 False

 

4. A buffer is prepared using 0.085 Mformic acid (HCOOH) and 0.085 Msodium formate (NaHCOO). Which of the following statements is FALSE?

  a

The addition of 0.02 M HCl will decrease the pH slightly

  b

The addition of 0.02 M NaOH will increase the pH slightly

  c

The formate ion can neutralize bases added to the buffer

  d

The addition of 1.0 M HCl will cause the pH to drop significantly

  e

Diluting the solution with pure water won't change the pH of the buffer

 

 

5. The following are true for buffer, EXCEPT:
