A friend asks the following: Consider a buffered solution made up of the weak acid HA and its salt NaA. If a strong base like NaOH is added, the HA reacts with the OH to form A. Thus the amount of acid (HA) is decreased, and the amount of base (A) is increased. Analogously, adding HCI to the buffered solution forms more of the acid (HA) by reacting with the base (A). Thus how can we claim that a buffered solution resists changes in the pH of the solution? How would you explain buffering to this friend?
