Two buffer solutions `A` and `B` each made with benzoic acid and sodium benzoate differ in their `pH` by two units. A has salt`:` acid`a:b. B` has salt`:` acid `=b:a.` If `agtb`, then the value of `a:b` is
`a. 3.17" "b.10.0" "c.3.0" "d. 6.0`

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the information given about the two buffer solutions A and B, which are made from benzoic acid and sodium benzoate. The key points are: 1. The pH of solution A is greater than the pH of solution B by 2 units. 2. The ratio of salt to acid in solution A is \( a:b \), while in solution B it is \( b:a \). 3. We are to find the value of the ratio \( a:b \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: ...
