The $pH$ of a solution at $25\,^oC$ containing $0.10\,M$ sodium acetate and $0.03\,M$ acetic acid is ($pK_a$ for $CH_3COOH = 4.57$)

When a person breathes rapidly during fear or excitement,the concentration of $CO_2$ in the blood decreases. What happens to the $pH$ of the blood?

$0.1 \ M$ $CH_3COOH$ is titrated against $0.1 \ M$ $NaOH$. What would be the difference in $pH$ between $1/4$ and $3/4$ stages of neutralization of the acid?

Assertion : Buffer system of carbonic acid and sodium bicarbonate is used for the precipitation of hydroxides of third group elements.
Reason : It maintains the $pH$ to a constant value,about $7.4.$

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $A$ buffer solution is the mixture of a salt and an acid or a base mixed in any particular quantities.
Statement $II$: Blood is a naturally occurring buffer solution whose $pH$ is maintained by $H_2CO_3 / HCO_3^{-}$ concentrations.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Calculate the $pH$ of a buffer solution containing $0.04 \ M$ $NaF$ and $0.02 \ M$ $HF$ $[pK_a = 3.142]$.
