Best Answer

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.

Diluting is a physical change.


Will the pH of a buffer solution be higher or lower than the pH of a weak acid?

The pH of buffer solution will be higher (Less acidic) than the corresponding acid because the common ion effect in buffer mixture suppressed the ionization of acid.


What is buffer in microprocessor?

By using buffer along with micro-controller, it is possible to reduce the effect of 'back EMF' or 'Spiking Effect'. The capacity of any micro-controller is to sink or source current up to 25mA and its ports gets damaged if it is more. So buffer protects ports of micro-controller getting damaged. And it is possible to get appropriate data trans-receiving by using buffer in micro-controller.Sachin Joshi


How temperature can effect the buffer capacity?

Buffer solutions are chemicals that react in both acidic and alkaline chemicals to neutralize them. They are often used to create a neutral solution when calibrating a pH meter. High temperatures can degrade a buffer solution, reducing its effectiveness. Ph meters are also effected by temperatures, so it is essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions about the temperatures when calibrating them,

Why would you use alkalinity increaser?

Alkalinity should be maintained between 80-120 ppm to act as a buffer for pH. Without the buffer effect your pH would have more frequent and wider changes.


What are buffer statements?

Buffer statements are statements used at the beginning of a business letter expressing bad news. The purpose of a buffer statement is to cushion the effect of the bad news to the reader. Buffer statements can be used to compliment, appreciate or show argument but never to apologize. Buffer statements are never used to directly spill the bad news but only send a message to the reader that the bad news will be stated later on in the message.Hope this helps.

Yes, you have to use an op-amp buffer to prevent the loading effect.


Why addition of water to the vinegar does not effect the determination of its concentration in titration?

Yes, it DOES effect the concentration (mol per litre). This is because the volume (of solution, litres) has changed, when diluting, but not the total quantity (just moles of 'reacting' vinegar in the titration).
