27
Q

What happens when you add acid to an acidic buffer solution?

A

When small amount of acid is added extra H+ ions are added.

28
Q

What happens to the position of equilibrium of an acidic buffer solution?

A

The position of equilibria moves to the LEFT to remove the H+ ions.

29
Q

What happens to the pH of an acidic buffer solution?

A

This keeps the pH almost constant.

30
Q

What happens to a buffer when a base is added?

A

When a small amount of base is added extra hydroxide OH- ions are added.

31
Q

How are the hydroxide ions removed?

A

The hydroxide ions react with the hydrogen ions removing some of the H+ ions.

32
Q

What happens to the position of equilibrium if bases are added and why?

A

The position of equilibrium moves to the RIGHT to replace the H+ ions.

33
Q

What happens to the pH of a buffer when bases are added?

A

This keeps the pH almost constant.

34
Q

What is an acidic buffer formed from?

A

Basic buffers

35
Q

A

B + H+ BH+

36
Q

What happens when you add acid to a basic buffer solution?

A

When small amount of acid is added extra H+ ions are removed as they react with the base B.

37
Q

What happens to the position of equilibrium of a basic buffer solution?

A

The position of equilibrium moves to the RIGHT.

38
Q

What happens to a basic buffer when a base is added?

A

When a small amount of base is added extra hydroxide OH- ions are added.

39
Q

How are the hydroxide ions removed?

A

The hydroxide ions react with the hydrogen ions in the buffer removing some of the H+ ions.

40
Q

What happens to the position of equilibrium if bases are added to a basic buffer and why?

A

The position of equilibrium moves to the LEFT to replace the H+ ions
