To minimize the sharp pH shift that occurs when a strong acid is added to a solution, is it better to add a weak base or a strong base? Why?
A buffer solution is composed of 1.00 mol of acid and 1.75 mol of the conjugate base. If the pKa of the acid is 3.60, what is the
pH of the buffer?
pH=
Which Latin word is the word acid derived from? What does that Latin word mean? Why is relying only on this definition not a good way to define acids?
