Buffer capacity is a measure of a buffer solution's resistance to changes in pH as strong acid or base is added. Suppose that you have 145 mL of a buffer that is 0.100 M in both propanoic acid (C2H;COOH) and its conjugate base (C2H5CO0). Calculate the maximum volume of 0.420 M HCl that can be added to the buffer before its buffering capacity is lost. mL

A chemical system is set up by placing some solid ammonium chloride in an ammonia solution. The equilibrium established can be represented as follows: NH4*(aq) + H2O(e) 2 H30*(aq) + NH3(aq) The pH of the solution is taken, then a small amount of NaOH(aq) is added and the pH is taken again. What can be said about the change in pH for the solution? The pH significantly increases because a strong base has been added to the solution. The pH significantly decreases because a strong base has been added to the solution. There is very little change to the pH of the solution. If anything the pH of the solution decreases slightly. There is very little change to the pH of the solution. If anything the pH of the solution increases slightly.
