You are building a machine to process dates into tasty cookies at a factory. This machine cannot corrode into your date paste, or the taste of the cookies will be ruined. Dates have a natural pH of 6.2 to 6.4. Which conjugate base would you choose to make a buffer solution to test materials for your machine to make sure that they will not ruin the flavor of the cookies
Acid Ka Hydrochloric HCI Acetic CH3COOH 1.8 x 10 Carbonic H2CC 4.3 x 10 Dihydrogen phosphate H-PO, 6.2 x 10 Boric Acid HaBO5.4x 10 T0
a) CI
b) CH3COO
c) HCO3
d) HPO
e) H2BOs

C) HCO₃⁻
Explanation:
pKa of a buffer is defined as -log Ka of the buffer:
For:
Acetic acid: -log 1.8x10⁻⁵ = 4.74
Carbonic acid: -log 4.3x10⁻⁷ = 6.37
Dihydrogen phosphate: -log 6.2x10⁻⁸ = 7.21
Boric Acid: -log 5.4x10⁻¹⁰ = 9.27
The maximum buffering capacity is when pH is ± 1 pKa.
As Carbonic acid has the nearest pKa to desire pH, you must choose HCO₃⁻ as conjugate base.
C) HCO₃⁻
