Which substance could you add to each solution to make it a buffer solution?

  1. 0.100 M NaC2H3O2

  2. 0.500 M H3PO4

  3. 0.200 M HCHO2

Can you include an explanation with this as well please? Thanks!

Answer #1

Buffer is the solution which resists change in the pH of solution after addition of acid or base. it has role in chemical and biochemical processes where the control of pH is very important

Buffer is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. It is a kind of acid base pair.

The change in concentration of hydronium ion in solution by addition of small amount of acid or base is balanced by forward and backward reaction triggered by conjugate base/ conjugate acid. Hence to make a buffer from acid we look for ts conjugate base or vice versa. OR We can say A buffer must have an acid/base conjugate pair, following compounds are co jugate acid or base pair of given compounds

1. HC2H3CO2 ( conjugate acid of given base)

2. NaH2PO4 (conjugate base of given acid)

3 NaCHO2 conjuagte bas of given acid
