Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 2ALQ
A friend asks the following: “Consider a buffered solution made up of the weak acid HA and its salt NaA. If a strong base like NaOH is added, the HA reacts with the OH− to form A−. Thus the amount of acid (HA) is decreased, and the amount of base (A−) is increased. Analogously, adding HCI to the buffered solution forms more of the acid (HA) by reacting with the base (A−). Thus how can we claim that a buffered solution resists changes in the pH of the solution?” How would you explain buffering to this friend?
