The $[HCO_{3}^{-}]/[H_{2}CO_{3}]$ ratio in the buffer present in blood $(pH = 7.4)$ is approximately $(pK_{a} = 6.1$ for $H_{2}CO_{3})$.

Which of the following is a buffer solution of strong acidic nature?

In an acidic buffer,$0.25 \ M$ $CH_3COOH$ is added to $0.125 \ M$ $NaCH_3COO$ solution. Calculate the $pH$ of the buffer. Given $K_a$ of $CH_3COOH = 1.8 \times 10^{-5}$. [Formula: $pH = pK_a + \log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}$]

The $pH$ of blood in the human body is maintained by $CO_2$ and $H_2CO_3$. What is this process called?

$A$ certain buffer solution contains equal concentrations of $3.9 \times 10^{-5} \ M$ $X^{-}$ and $HX$. The $K_b$ for $X^{-}$ is $10^{-10}$. The $pH$ of the buffer is:

The addition of small amounts of either acid or base to a buffer solution causes only small changes in $pH$ because the buffer solution
