Vinegar (acetic acid) is a weak acid, so yes it can be used to make a buffer.

What can be mixed in solution with H2CO3 to make a buffer?

A weak acid or its conjugate base can be mixed in solution with H2CO3 to make a buffer. Suitable options could be sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or a weak acid like acetic acid (CH3COOH).


A solution that is resistant to change in pH?

A buffer solution is resistant to changes in pH because it contains a weak acid and its conjugate base, which can react with added acid or base to maintain a relatively constant pH. Buffers are commonly used in biochemical and chemical systems to prevent drastic changes in pH levels.


What is pseudo buffer?

A pseudo buffer is a theoretical construct used in computer science to explain certain algorithms or data structures. It is not an actual buffering mechanism, but a conceptual idea to simplify the explanation of complex systems.


What are pH electrode storage solution and pH 7.0 buffer and for what are they used?

The buffer solution is used to calibrate the meter. Usually two buffer solutions are used to do this. One is close to the range of the sample that will be measured, like the 7.0 buffer that you mention could be used for aquarium water. The other solution would be more acidic, like a 4.0 buffer solution. The process is to calibrate in one solution, rinse the probe, then calibrate in the other solution. This back and forth is done until the meter is reading the desired buffer and is stable. In other words, you would finish with the 7.0 buffer solution when it is reading exactly 7.0 PH, with no further adjustments after switching from the 4.0 solution. The probe should be rinsed with PH neutral DI water and shaken dry between each between each measurement so that solutions are not mixed. The storage solution is used to store the glass probe for long periods of time. A few drops of storage solution should be dripped into the probe cap before replacing it for storage. The storage solution is just a buffer that has some anti-bacterial additives to keep stuff from growing in it. The calibration buffer can be used for short term storage though. The glass probe should NEVER be allowed to dry out for long periods and should be rinsed with DI water before storage. It should NOT be stored in DI water though. Only buffer solution or storage solution should be used.


What is the maximum buffer capacity of the solution being used in the experiment?

The maximum buffer capacity of the solution in the experiment is the highest amount of acid or base that can be added without causing a significant change in pH.

Why a buffer is used and the effects of a buffer on a solution?

A buffer is used to resist the change in pH when acid or alkali is added to a solution. This makes it a stable environment, eg. for enzymes. The buffer stops the pH of the solution changing too drastically.

Is NaCl plus HF a buffer?

Sodium acetate buffer?

Sodium acetate buffer is a commonly used buffer solution in biochemical and molecular biology laboratories. It consists of a mixture of sodium acetate and acetic acid, and helps maintain a stable pH when added to solutions. It is effective in the pH range of around 4.7 to 5.7.
