Question
A buffer contains significant amounts of ammonia and ammonium chloride. Write equations that demonstrate how this buffer neutralizes added acid and added base.
Step 1
The buffer solution contains ammonia (\( \text{NH}_3 \)) and ammonium chloride (\( \text{NH}_4\text{Cl} \)). Ammonia is a weak base, and ammonium chloride provides the conjugate acid, ammonium ion (\( \text{NH}_4^+ \)). Show more…
