Chapter 16, Problem 112E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A buffer is to be given to contain $0.10\text{mol}$ of a weak acid and $0.20\text{mol}$ of its conjugate base in $1.0\text{L}$ of solution. On the addition of the given sets of solution in the buffer the capacity of the buffer is exceeds or not is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The solution that is able to maintain its $\text{pH}$ when an acid or alkali is added to it is known as a buffer solution. The solution is usually made up of a weak base and its conjugate acid or a weak acid and its conjugate base, which exist in equilibrium.

To determine: If the stated addition of the given sets of solution in the buffer the capacity of the buffer is exceeds or not.
