Box 1 and 2.

box 1 answer choices: [conj. acid]>[conj. base],[conj. acid]=[conj. base], or [conj. acid]<[conj. base]
box 2 answer choices: protects equally well in both directions, protects better against an acid, or protects better against a base.

**Buffer pH Adjustment**

If a buffer is to maintain a pH **above** its ideal pH:

1. **Relative amounts of the conjugates in the buffer:**
   - [Select]

2. **Buffering capacities:**
   - [Select]

This exercise asks you to consider how the relative proportions of the conjugate acid-base pair in a buffer system should be adjusted to achieve and maintain a pH level higher than the buffer's inherent ideal pH. It also prompts you to think about how these adjustments might affect the overall buffering capacities of the system.
