Chapter 16, Problem 16.13QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The buffer system to maintain the $\text{pH}$ of $3$ in an aqueous solution is to be identified.

Concept introduction: An acidic buffer solution is the solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base. A basic buffer solution is the solution of a weak base and its conjugate acid.

A buffer solution controls the $\text{pH}$ of the solution.

To determine: The buffer system to maintain the $\text{pH}$ of $3$ in an aqueous solution.
