Which will act as a buffer solution

Which solution is not a buffer solution ?

Which of these is not a buffer solution ?

Statement-1: pH value of acidic buffer solution changes , If buffer solution is diluted upto very large extent. Statement-2: [H^(+)] decreases due to change in concentration as well as alpha increases and decreases in concentration is more as compared to increases in alpha .

Assertion (A): An aqueous solution of ammonium acetate acts as a buffer solution. Reason (R) : A buffer solution reacts with small quantities of hydrogen or hydroxy ions and keps the pH almost same.

Which one of the following is not a buffer solution ?

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?

Solution of a weak acid and its anion (that is,its conjugate base) or of a base and its common cation are buffered. When we add a small amount of acid or base to any one of the, the pH of solution change very little. pH of buffer solution can be computed as for acidic buffer : pH=pK_(a)+ log.(["Conjugate base"])/(["Acid"]) for basic buffer : pOH=pK_(b)+log.(["Conjugate acid"])/([Base]) It is generly accepted that a has useful buffer cpacity (pH change resisting power) provided that the value of [salt or conjugate base] /[acid] for acidic buffer lies within the range of 1 : 10 to 1. Buffer capacity is maximum when [conjugate base] = [acid] Useful correct statement :
