Explanation:
The answer is H2SO4 for sulphuric acid
One of the best buffer choice for pH = 8.0 is Tris with Ka value of 6.3 x 10^-9.
To support this answer, we first calculate for the pKa value as the negative logarithm of the Ka value:
pKa = -log Ka
For Tris, which is an abbreviation for 2-Amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3 -diol and has a Ka value of 6.3 x 10^-9, the pKa is
pKa = -log Ka
= -log (6.3x10^-9)
= 8.2
We know that buffers work best when pH is equal to pKa:
pKa = 8.2 = pH
Therefore Tris would be a best buffer at pH = 8.0.

Mass of Na2SO4= 514.18 grams
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
423.67 g of NaCl
Required
mass of Na2SO4
Solution
Reaction
2NaCl + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2HCl
mol NaCl :
= 423.67 g : 58.5 g/mol
= 7.24
From the equation, mol Na2SO4 :
= 1/2 x mol NaCl
= 1/2 x 7.24
= 3.62
Mass Na2SO4 :
= 3.62 mol x 142,04 g/mol
= 514.18 grams
