Step 1
A buffer solution is most effective when the pH is close to its pKa value. The effective range of a buffer is typically considered to be within ±1 pH unit of its pKa. Show more…

What is the pH at which a buffer composed of HOCl and OCl- would be most effective at resisting pH change? Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Remember you can find KA and/or KB values in your textbook in chapter 15.

The target pH for a buffer is 10.2. What is the best buffer system to obtain this pH? a. HCO2H/NaHCO2 Ka = 1.8 x 10^-4 b. HOCl/NaOCl Ka = 3.5 x 10^-8 c. H3BO3/NaH2BO3 Ka = 7.3 x 10^-10 d. NaHCO3/Na2CO3 Ka = 4.8 x 10^-11
