Interpretation:
The equation for reaction when
Concept Introduction:
On addition of limited amount of an acid or base, if a solution does not change the pH, it is known as buffer solution. For example: aqueous solution of weak acid and its conjugate base. This property of buffer to resist the pH is known as buffer action.
For an effective buffer, the value of pH is equal to the
