Question
Addition of $0.004$ mole of an acid to a litre of a buffer decreases the $\mathrm{pH}$ of the buffer by $0.04$. Buffer capacity is(1) $0.004$(2) $0.04$(3) $0.1$(4) 1
Step 1
In this case, the buffer capacity is given by the change in the amount of acid divided by the change in pH. Show more…

A buffer contains 0.10 mol of a weak acid and 0.20 mol of its conjugate base in 1.0 L of solution. Determine whether or not each addition exceeds the capacity of the buffer. a. adding 0.020 mol of NaOH b. adding 0.020 mol of HCl c. adding 0.10 mol of NaOH d. adding 0.010 mol of HCl
When 0.05 mole of HCl is added in 200 ml of a buffer solution, pH of the solution decreases by 0.05 unit. What is the buffer capacity of the solution?
Buffer capacity is defined as the number of moles of a strong acid or strong base that are required to change the pH of one liter of the buffer solution by one unit. What is the buffer capacity of a solution that is $0.10 \mathrm{M}$ in acetic acid and $0.10 \mathrm{M}$ in sodium acetate?
