    For the basic buffer solution the pH is 9.3. The pH can be increased by:

    A)  increasing the concentration or me sail g

    B)  increasing the concentration of the base

    C)  decreasing the concentration of the base

    D)  decreasing the \[{{K}_{b}}\] value of the base

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The pOH of a basic buffer solution is given by Handersons equation \[pOH=p{{K}_{b}}+\log \frac{[salt]}{[base]}\] This equation shows that increase in concentration of base will decrease pOH ie., will increase pH (pH = 14 - pOH).
