You want to maintain pH = 7.0 for an enzyme-catalyzed reactionthat will produce hydrogen ions along with the desired product. Atequal concentrations, which weak acid, if any, will serve as thebetter buffer for the reaction: Acid A pKa = 6.5, Acid B pKa =7.5
a. Acid A
b. both are equally effective
c. water is as good as either of the acids available
d. acid B
*** I get that answer A is correct but Wouldn't B (pKa = 7.5) bebetter because as more H+ gets released by the reaction the pHwould go down closer to 7, while if A was used the pH would fallfurther away from 7 . Also I'm not sure what is at \"equalconcentrations\" as in the question
