Chapter 17, Problem 7CR

7. Describe a buffered solution. Give three examples of buffered solutions. For each of your examples, write equations and explain how the components of the buffered solution consume added strong acids or bases. Why is buffering of solutions in biological systems so important?

EXPLAIN: Why are pH and buffers important in biological systems?
In an experiment to determine the amount of aspirin in a tablet, one of the bottles of NaOH used was accidentally left open for 24 hours, which lead to it reacting with carbon dioxide. What will be the effect on the calculated amount of aspirin compared to the actual amount in the tablet and the concentration of the NaOH solution? Calculated amount increases since NaOH concentration will be lower than original. Calculated amount increases since NaOH concentration will be higher than original. Calculated amount decreases since NaOH concentration will be lower than original. Calculated amount decreases since NaOH concentration will be higher than original.
QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS: If you have a mixture of many different types of cations, what do you add to the solution in the second step and what compounds (cation and anion together) will precipitate?
