Which of the following do you think is a correct statement?(a) Ammonium hydroxide / ammonium chloride is an acidic buffer(b) boric acid / borax is an acidic buffer(c) henderson hasselbalch equation is given by pH = pKb + log[salt]/[acid](d) PH + pOH = 4The question was posed to me in an online quiz.My query is from Equilibrium topic in division Equilibrium of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct option is (b) boric acid / borax is an acidic buffer

For explanation: Ammonium hydroxide / ammonium CHLORIDE is a BASIC buffer, henderson hasselbalch equation is GIVEN by PH = pKa + log[salt]/[acid] and pH + pOH = 14. So the only correct statement is that boric acid / borax is an acidic buffer.
