Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 2RQ
Define a buffer solution. What makes up a buffer solution? How do buffers absorb added H+ or OH− with little pH change?
Is it necessary that the concentrations of the weak acid and the weak base in a buffered solution be equal? Explain. What is the pH of a buffer when the weak acid and conjugate base concentrations are equal?
A buffer generally contains a weak acid and its weak conjugate base, or a weak base and its weak conjugate acid, in water. You can solve for the pH by setting up the equilibrium problem using the K.a reaction of the weak acid or the Kb reaction of the conjugate base. Both reactions give the same answer for the pH of the solution. Explain.
A third method that can be used to solve for the pH of a buffet solution is the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation. What is the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation? What assumptions are made when using this equation?

Which of the following incorrectly describes buffer solutions?
Buffers can be prepared using strong acids and its conjugate base.
Buffers are solutions that resist drastic changes in pH with the addition of a strong acid or
base.
Buffers are composed of a weak acid and its conjugate base.
Buffers are solutions important in maintaining homeostasis in organisms.
The dissociation constant of lactic acid, a monoprotic acid found in sour milk, is 1.4 x 104. A
mixture is prepared by dissolving 0.0100 mol of lactic acid and 0.0100 mol NaOH in enough
water to form 1.00 L solution.
1. Is the resulting solution a buffer? Explain why or why not.
2. Is the resulting solution acidic, basic or neutral? Explain your answer.
In a laboratory experiment, a student has 1 L of solution containing a weak base at a concentration of 0.300 M. In order to create a buffer, a strong acid is added, which converts some of the base in the solution to its conjugate weak acid to create a buffer. If the student wants to create the most effective buffer that can be equally resistant to both acids and bases how many moles of strong acid should the student add to the buffer? (Please provide your answer to 3 decimal places.)
