Solutions of sodium acetate and acetic acid are combined in equal volume to produce a buffer. Identify the combination that will produce the buffer with the highest buffer capacity. Select one: a. 0.01 M CH3COOH , 0.1 M CH3COONa b. 0.1 M CH3COOH , 0.1 M CH3COONa c. 0.1 M CH3COOH , 0.01 M CH3COONa d. 0.01 M CH3COOH , 0.01 M CH3COONa

Option b=> 0.1 M CH3COOH , 0.1 M CH3COONa.

Explanation:

In chemistry, when an acid or a base(alkali) is added to a solution and the solution pH does not change then we say that the solution is a BUFFER SOLUTION (that is a solution, upon the addition of acid or base will show resistance in pH value).

In order to be able to answer this question efficiently we have to consider the mathematical representation or Equation below;

pH = pKa + log ( [ A^-] / [HA] )(1).

What the mathematical representation or Equation (1) above is telling is is that if [A^-] or [HA] is high then there will be the production of buffer with higher buffer capacity.

answer: the primary difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that b hypothesis is falsifiable, but a theory has been proven to be correct. theory is an explanation of something that is happening but hypothesis is a guess of something that can happen

explanation:

the mantle

explanation:

earth is divided into three layers: the crust or the outermost layer on which we live; the underlying, middle layer - the mantle - and the core (the innermost layer of earth).
