Select the valid ways to make an ammonia/ammonium buffer for use in the laboratory. Mix equal volumes of 1 M NH3 and 0.01 M NH 4. Mix some volume of 1 M NH3 with half as much 1 M HCl. Mix equal volumes of 1 M NH3 and 1 M NH 4. Mix equal volumes of 1 M NH3 and 1 M HCl.

Answer:

The answer is "Option b and Option c".

Explanation:

This buffer is a buffer of ammonia and ammonium ion. Thus it requires the solution [tex]NH_3 \ \ and \ \ NH_4^{+}[/tex].

In point 1:

The solution containing [tex]NH_3 \ \ and \ \ NH_4^{+}[/tex] at 1M concentration would be given by mixing the two solutions. Thus, this buffer is a legitimate route.

In point 2:

It gives the ions you want but they are not the same.

In point 3:

[tex]1 M[/tex] [tex]NH_3[/tex] and [tex]1 M[/tex][tex]HCl[/tex] volume would not produce the same [tex]NH_3 \ \ and \ \ NH_4^{+}[/tex] concentrations. Therefore, this buffer isn't a valid route.

In point 4:

Some [tex]1 M[/tex] [tex]NH_3[/tex] volume and half [tex]HCl[/tex] . This offers the same rate as half.
