$A$ certain buffer solution contains equal concentrations of $X^-$ and $HX$. If the $K_a$ of $HX$ is $10^{-8}$,then the $pH$ of the buffer solution will be ...... .

The $pH$ of a buffer solution decreases by $0.02$ units when $0.12 \ g$ of acetic acid is added to $250 \ mL$ of a buffer solution of acetic acid and potassium acetate at $27^{\circ} C$. The buffer capacity of the solution is

Derive the equation for the calculation of $pH$ of an acidic buffer solution.

$A$ physician wishes to prepare a buffer solution at $pH = 3.58$ that efficiently resists changes in $pH$ yet contains only small concentration of the buffering agents. Which of the following weak acids together with its sodium salt would be best to use?

The $pH$ of blood is maintained by a proper balance of $H_2CO_3$ and $NaHCO_3$ concentrations. What volume of $5 \, M \, NaHCO_3$ solution should be mixed with $10 \, mL$ of $2 \, M \, H_2CO_3$ to maintain a $pH$ of $7.4$ (in $, mL$)? (Given: $K_a$ for $H_2CO_3 = 7.8 \times 10^{-7}$)

Which of the following buffer solutions will have the highest acidic character?
