2) a) A buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable. This is important for processes and/or reactions which require specific and stable pH ranges.
A buffer is made by mixing a large volume of a weak acid orweak base together with its conjugate. A weak acid and its conjugate base can remain in solution without neutralizing each other. The same is true for a weak base and its conjugate acid.
Examples of buffer:

Lab 5: Buffers Data analysis 1. Write reaction equations to explain how your acetic acid- acetate buffer reacts with an acid and with a base, respectively. 2. Buffer capacity has a rather loose definition, yet it is an important property of buffers. A commonly seen definition of buffer capacity is: "The amount of Hor OH that can be neutralized before the pH changes by one unit." Use your data to determine the buffer capacity of Buffer A and Buffer B....
PRE-LABORATORY QUESTIONS Fully answer these questions in your laboratory notebook before coming to lab. Show all work for numerical calculations. 1. Write out the chemical equation and equilibrium constant expression (Law of Mass Action) for the acetic acid / acetate ion buffer system. Derive the Henderson-Hasselbach equation for this system. 2. Calculate the pH of a buffer solution made by adding 1.3230 g of sodium acetate trihydrate (NaC,H,O, 3H,O) to 50.00 mL of 0.1652 M acetic acid. Assume there is...

The midpoint of the steepest increase in pH isthe equivalence use the equivalence point on your graph to estimate pKa and Ka for acetic acid. 3. Buffer capacity has a rather loose definition, yet it is an important property of buffers. A commonly...
can i get some help with my post lab please. here is my data. i need help with questions 1-4 if its possible. thank you 1. Calculate the % error of pH for your buffer. The actual pH should have been 4.754 2. Analyze your data from Parts C and D. Evaluate and draw conclusions regarding your results. 3. Calculate the theoretical change in pH in your buffer (Part D) from the addition of HCl Compare this value to the...
Post Lab Questions: To receive full credit, you must SHOW ALL YOUR WORKI 1. What is meant when one says that a buffer has a high buffer capacity? 2. What differences did you notice when you added acid or base to distilled water as compared to the buffer solutions? 3. The blood buffer system is made up of H2CO3 and HCO3-. Describe with the use of equations how this system responds to added H3O* and to added OH-. POST LAB...

EQUL 499- Det. Of pH of Strong Acid, weak acid, salt, and buffer solution Discussion Topics Discussion Topics (need to submit in Blackboard): 1. What is a buffer? • A buffer is a solution that, when introduced to a new environment, undergoes minimal pH change, typically when adding acidic or basic solutions. These are extremely important for life because the pH of human blood is delicate and even if it is changed by 0.1, there may be catastrophic effects. 2....
In our experiment, we will be using a portion of the phosphate buffer system that is based upon the following equilibrium: H2PO4- HPO42- + H+ pKa = 7.2 In this case, H2PO4- will act as the acid and HPO42- will act as the base. Materials: 1M NaOH: 40.01 g/L of solution 1M HCl: 83 mL conc. HCl/L of solution Potassium phosphate, dibasic, K2HPO4, MW= 174.18 Potassium phosphate, monobasic, KH2PO4 MW= 136.09 **I already preformed this lab, but I struggled a...
