True or false? Buffers act most effectively when [HA+] and [A-] are equal.

Step 1
A buffer is a solution that can resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. It usually consists of a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A-). Show more…

For any buffer system, the buffer capacity depends on the amount of acid and base from which the buffer is made. a) True b) False
Adi S.
TRUE or FALSE 1. All acids and bases have conjugates. 2. Strong acids are acids with high concentration. 3. Amphoterism is the capacity of a compound to act as an acid or a base. 4. Blood uses a buffer bicarbonate ions and carbonic acid. 5. PbSO4 will precipitate from a solution containing 1.5 x 10-3 M Pb(NO3)2 and 0.05 M Na2SO4. 6. The solubility of PbCl2 decreases in a solution that contains both PbCl2 and NaCl.
