(a)
Interpretation:
A buffer solution needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
The Buffer solution is the solution formed by mixing the weak acid with a conjugate base or vice versa.
(a)
Answer to Problem 11STP
By mixing the weak acid with a conjugate base or weak base with conjugate acid, a solution is formed which is known as a buffer solution.
Explanation of Solution
A buffer solution is an aqueous solution that contains the weak acid with a conjugate base or weak base with conjugated acid. The pH value of that type of solution is little changes by the addition of strong acid or base to the solution.
(b)
Interpretation:
The substance that makes up a buffered solution needs to be described.
Concept Introduction :
By the addition of strong acid or base to the solution, their pH value remains the same this type of solution is said to be a buffer solution.
(b)
Answer to Problem 11STP
For acidic buffer solution: when a weak acid reacts with one if its salt is called acidic buffer solutions.
For Alkaline buffer solutions: that solution in which a weak base reacts with one if it’s salt, is said to be an alkaline buffer solution.
Explanation of Solution
Acidic buffer solutions are those solutions whose pH value is less than 7 and they are formed by the reaction of a weak acid with one of its salt. Similarly, an alkaline buffer solution is formed by the reaction of a weak base with one of its ions and their pH value is greater than 7.
(c)
Interpretation:
The working of a buffer solution needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
By the addition of strong acid or base to the solution, their pH value remains the same this type of solution is said to be a buffer solution.
(c)
Answer to Problem 11STP
A buffer solution is work by treating the solution with an acid or base to maintain the pH value of the solution.
Explanation of Solution
In a buffer solution, the strong acid is replaced by the weak one but the pH value is maintained. The pH value of the solution is maintained by neutralizing the added acid or base.

- Speaking of composite materials, indicate the correct option:(A). Composite materials can only be: metal-polymer or polymer-polymer.(B). Composite materials can be made up of particles, but not fibers or sheets.(C). When the reinforcing particles are uniformly distributed in a composite material, there may be a greater tendency for it to have isotropic properties.(D). None of the above is correct.arrow_forwardIf we are talking about viscoelastic modulus or viscoelastic relaxation modulus in polymers, indicate the correct option.(A).
