Which statement about buffer solutions is false? 1. A buffer solution is always neutral. OR 2. When a strong base is added to a buffer solution, it is removed by reacting with the weak acid present.
Madhur L.
A buffer solution has a fixed pH value that does not change at all upon the addition of acid or base. False True A weak base and its conjugate acid is a buffer solution because it can neutralize added base or acid and contains both acidic and basic species. False True
