A certain buffer solution contains equal concentration of X^(-) and HX. K_(b) , for X^(-) is 10^(-10) . Find the pH of buffer.

Higher the amount of acid or base used to produce a definite change of pH in a buffer solution,higher will be its buffer capacity. Buffer capacity of solution is maximum under the following conditions: [Salt= [Acid] (in acid buffer), [Salt] = [Base] (in base buffer) pH of a buffer solution lies in the range given below: pH = pk_(a)pm1 , In other words, any buffer solution can be used as buffer up to two pH units only, depending upon the value of pK_(a) , or pK_(b) ,. A buffer is said to be efficient when pH_(a) =pK_(a) , or pOH= pk_(b) Which among the following solution will be the most efficient buffer?
