PH stands for "Potential Hydrogen" and the PH scale ranges from 0-14. PH refers to the ability to attract hydrogen ions.
The PH of a solution either indicates acidity of the solution or alkalinity of the solution. A solution which has PH 7 above is a base solution where a solution with PH less than 7 is an acidic solution.
Answer:
The correct answer is: d. The pKa of the chosen buffer should be close to the optimal pH for the biochemical reaction.
Explanation:
The buffer resist or maintain the change in pH in case of Acid or basic addition to the solution. The buffer capacity should be within one or two pH units when compared to the optimal pH.
Thus it is important to select a buffer with pKa close to the optimum pH of the reaction because the ability for the buffer to maintain the pH is is great at the pH close to pKa.
Is this the whole answer?
