How do you calculate the total buffer capacity of an aqueous solution of a strong base or base at any pH?
Buffer capacity depends on the Ka of the buffer component, the concentration of the buffer (C), as well as the [H3O+]. Thus, it will beBuffer capacity = 2.3 C (Ka x [H3O+]/(Ka + [H3O+])^2The Ka will be that of the conjugate acid and [H3OP+] will be the antilog of -pH. Then just plug and chug.
How do you calculate the capacity of a rectangular fuel tank?
It is length * width * height.
Why doesn't the rectum have buffer capacity?
The rectum doesn't have enough fluids to have buffer capacity.
What is the buffer capacity of a solution of a strong base directly proportional to?
The buffer capacity of a strong base is directly proportional to the concentration of hydroyxl ions. Buffer capacity = 2.303 x [OH-]
What would be the capacity of a fish tank?
To calculate capacity, you need the length, height, and width of your tank
Does buffer capacity depend on the amount of buffers present?
Yes. The higher the number of buffers, the higher the buffer capacity.
What happens to the buffer a pH capacity?
The buffer maintain the pH constant.
What is buffer capacity and what are the factors that effect the buffer capacity?
it is defined the capability of a buffer to resist the change of pH.it can be measured quantity that how much extra acid or base , the solution can absorb before the buffer is essentially destroyed. buffer capacity of a buffer solution is determined by the sizes of actual molarities . so , a chemist must decide before making the buffer solution.
Effect of Diluting a buffer?
The buffer capacity increases as the concentration of the buffer solution increases and is a maximum when the pH is equal to the same value as the pKa of the weak acid in the buffer. A buffer solution is a good buffer in the pH range that is + or - 1 pH unit of the pKa. Beyond that, buffering capacity is minimal.
How do you measure capacity of a tank?
The answer depends on whether or not the tank has a geometric shape. If it has a shape that can be broken up into simply geometric shapes, each with a volume formula, you can calculate the volume of each section and add them together. Obviously that will not work with a random shape. In that case, you can fill the tank to capacity and then empty it out into measuring jars or flasks. Use the volume of the jars to calculate the volume of the tank.
When does a buffer have its greatest buffer capacity?
when the capacity equals PKa where concentrations of acid and salt are the same that means Log base/acid equals zero
Does buffer capacity change with temperature?
Yes
