Pregunta Respuesta
What makes this a buffer solution? It has approximately equal concentrations of a weak acid and its conjugate base
Describe two methods of preparing an ammonia/ammonium buffer 1. Mix similar amounts of ammonia and ammonium chloride (or nitrate) solution together 2. Add half the amount of ammonia to a solution containing ammonium ions.
What does a buffer solution do? It minimises change in pH on the addition of small amounts of either acid or base
In a buffer solution of HA and A-, what reaction would occur if acid was added? The weak base A- would react with the added acid producing HA and water
This diagram represents the way a buffer system responds to the addition of a small amount of NaOH
What does this diagram show? That when acid is added to a buffer system, the acid reacts with the conjugate base and when base is added to a buffer system, this base reacts with the conjugate acid.
Why is pH = pKa at half equivalence? Because the concentration of the weak acid and its conjugate base are equal and at that point log 1 = 0
What is the equation you should use when calculating PH of a buffer solution pH = pka + log ([CB]÷[A])
