What two factors are involved in determining the exact pH of a buffer?
The two factors involved in determining the exact pH of a buffer are the concentration of the weak acid and its conjugate base, as well as the dissociation constant (Ka) of the weak acid. These factors work together to resist changes in pH when an acid or base is added to the buffer solution.
What is a chemical compound that helps control the pH of a solution by adding or removing hydrogen ions is a(n)?
Buffer
At what pH is a buffer effective?
buffers help resist change in pH. In our bodies the normal pH is 7.4 which is slightly basic. If for some reason there are excess hydrogen ions in our bodies, the pH will drop and a buffer in the body will counteract this. For example bicarbonate, an important buffer in our bodies, will release bicarbonate ions that will combine with the hydrogen ions forming carbonic acid. Therefore the blood will not decrease in pH.
By what three methods is Hydrogen concentration in body fluids regulated?
pH is regulated generally in the stomach, when food is broken down. Acids are introduced to dissolve food and i think then bile is introduced to neutralize the acid, so you don't get eaten from the inside out. Which would be unfortunate.
Compare the buffer system in the whole blood?
The buffer system in whole blood is made up of carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system and protein buffer system. The carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system helps regulate pH by balancing the levels of carbonic acid and bicarbonate ions. The protein buffer system involves proteins like hemoglobin that can bind to and release hydrogen ions to help maintain a stable pH in the blood.
What is a weak acid or base that combines reversibly with hydrogen ions?
Buffer
What best describes a buffer?
A buffer is a substance in a solution that releases and captures hydrogen ions, keeping the pH the same.Sodium hydroxide, a base, is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not changeA buffer resists change in pH by accepting hydrogen ions when acids are added to the solution and donating hydrogen ions when bases are added.
What is the buffer capacity of a solution of a strong acid directly proportional to?
It is directly proportional to the concentration of hydrogen ions. Buffer capacity = 2.303 x [H3O+]
The name given to a chemical system that prevent changes in hydrogen ion concentration?
A buffer
The buffer recommended for making up the tryptic solution is ammonium hydrogen carbonate what are the advantages of using this buffer Please give referece?
plz reply to diz question
What is the dissolution of sodium hydrogen carbonate?
I guess it would be NaOH and CO2. This explains why it is an alkaline buffer

Which buffer system acts the fastest?
The bicarbonate buffering system typically acts the fastest among the body's buffer systems. This system helps regulate the pH of the blood by quickly reacting with excess hydrogen ions to maintain a stable pH.
How does the phosphate buffer system help in maintaining the pH of our body?
The phosphate buffer system consists of two ions: dihydrogen phosphate ions and hydrogen phosphate ions. When the number of hydrogen ions in a body's bloodstream increases (pH drops), hydrogen phosphate ions accept hydrogen ions in order to maintain the equilibrium between the concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions within the bloodstream. When the number of hydrogen ions in the bloodstream decreases (pH increases), the resulting dihydrogen phosphate ions release hydrogen ions in order to increase the number of hydrogen ions in the blood.
