Acidic buffer

Question

Buffer capacity of an acidic buffer solution is maximum when
a) pH = pK_a(b) [salt] = [acid]
c) pK_a = 7 d) [H⁺] = pK_a

Easy

A

all are correct
B

b,c, d are correct
C

a and b are correct
D

c and b are correct

Solution

Buffer capacity of an acidic buffer is maximum when the concentration of salt and acid are equal.
${P^H} = {P^{{K_a}}} + \log \frac{{\left[ {salt} \right]}}{{\left[ {acid} \right]}}= {P^{{K_a}}}$
