✔ 最佳答案

1.
All of the options b, c and d are the mixtures of a weak acid and its conjugate base. Hence, options b, c and d would be good buffers.
HNO₃ in option a is a strong acid, which cannot be used in making a buffer.

The answer: a. HNO₃ / NaNO₃

====
2.
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
pH = pKa + log([NO₂⁻]/[HNO₂])
pH = -log(4.5 × 10⁻⁴) + log(0.178/0.322) = 3.089

The answer: b. 3.093 (The closest answer)

====
3.
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
pH = pKa + log([C₂H₃O₂⁻]/[HC₂H₃O₂])
pH = -log(1.8 × 10⁻⁵) + log(0.146/0.105) = 4.89

The answer: a. 4.89

====
4.
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
pH = pKa + log([lactate ion]/[lactic acid])
pH = -log(1.4 × 10⁻⁴) + log(0.155/0.192) = 3.76

The answer: b. 3.76
