34
Q

35
Q

A

36
Q

37
Q

A

38
Q

a solution that minimizes changes in pH when acids or bases are added to it

A

acid-base buffer

39
Q

what do acid-base buffers consist of?

A

appreciable quantities of conjugate acid-base pairs

40
Q

more specifically, an acid-base buffer is composed of:

A
  1. acid and its conjugate base: HA & A-

2. base and its conjugate acid: B & BH+

41
Q

a buffer woks through the —

A

common-ion effect

42
Q

an application of Le Chatelier’s principle (for buffers)

A

common-ion effect

43
Q

how does a buffer work?

A

the buffer components (HA & A-) are able to consume small amounts of added OH- or H3O+ by a shift in equilibrium position. This shift absorbs the change in [H3O+] or [OH-] and the pH changes only slightly

44
Q

since Ka is a constant, the [H3O+] of the solution depends on —

A

the ration of buffer component concentrations

45
Q

if the ratio [HA]/[A-] increases, [H3O+] —

A

increases

46
Q

if the ratio [HA]/[A-] decreases, [H3O+] —

A

decreases

47
Q

the pH range over which the buffer is effective

A

the buffer range

48
Q

when are buffers most effective?

A

when the pH=pKa of the acid

49
Q

buffers have a usable range within — of the pKa

A

+/- 1 pH unit

50
Q

the ability of the buffer solution to resist changes in pH

A

buffer capacity

51
Q

buffers with the greatest absolute concentration have the — buffer capacity

A

largest

52
Q

when the strong base is added, the pH increases least for the —

A

most concentrated buffer

53
Q

how do you prepare a buffer?

A
  1. choose a conjugate acid with a pKa near the pH range
  2. Mix the appropriate amounts of CA and CB to reach the desired pH (pH=pKa + log([CB]/[CA])
    or
  3. partially neutralize a weak acid or base with a strong acid or base, respectively.
