Interpretation:
The characteristics of buffer solutions are to be written.
Concept introduction:
A solution is buffer if it does not change the
Buffer solution is of two types:
- Acidic buffer
- Basic buffer

Answer to Problem 45A
The property of buffer is that it doesn’t allow the change in
Explanation of Solution
It works as:
When small amount of base is added, it reacts with acetic acid and get neutralised.
When small amount of acid is added, common ion effect operates and equilibrium of acetic acid is shifted backward and thus effect of acid is neutralised.
It works as:
When small amount of acid is added, it reacts with ammonium hydroxide and get neutralised.
When small amount of base is added, common ion effect operates and equilibrium of ammonium hydroxide is shifted backward and thus effect of base is neutralised.
Thus, on addition of small electrolyte in a solution containing buffer, there is only slight change in
