Concept explainers
Interpretation: The reason due to which buffer solution maintains the pH level during the addition of acid to the solution is to be determined.
Concept introduction: The property of buffer is that it doesn’t allow the change in
Answer to Problem 7RQ
A buffer solution resist change in pH because a buffer solution usually contains a weak acid and conjugate base or vice versa. When H positive ion added to a buffer, weak acids conjugate base will accept the ion and neutralize the OH negative ion present in the solution.
Explanation of Solution
The property of buffer is that it doesn’t allow the change in
Buffer solution is a chemical substance that helps maintain a constant pH in a solution.
