Visualizing buffers
You can visualize a buffer solution containing approximately equal concentrations of HA and A in action using the following equation, where Ka
is the equilibrium constant:
[H3O ][A]
[HA]
K.
[H;O*]
[HA]
K.
[A]
When the concentrations of HA and A are relatively large, the addition of a small amount of acid or base changes their concentration negligibly.
The result is that the ratio (HA]/[A maintains a value approximately equal to 1, and the (H30+] is approximately equal to the Ka value under
buffer conditions.

Transcribed Image Text:Solutions that contain a weak acid, HA, and its conjugate
base, A
drastic changes in pH. When a solution contains a weak
acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its
conjugate acid, it will be a buffer solution. For buffers
containing a weak acid, the principal reaction is
are called buffer solutions because they resist
HA(aq) + H20(1)= H30*(aq) + A (aq)
Unbuffered, a weak acid would ionize and the net reaction
would proceed forward to reach equilibrium. However, when
a significant amount of conjugate base is already present,
the extent of the net reaction forward is diminished. Thus,
equilibrium concentrations of HA and A are
approximately equal to their initial concentrations.
