I. Introduction A buffer system is a mixture of a weak acid or a weak base and its salt (conjugate base or conjugate acid‚ respectively) that permits solutions to resist large changes in pH upon the addition of small amounts of hydrogen ions (H+) or hydroxide ions (OH-). If the same amount of the buffer is added‚ the pH may only change a fraction of a unit. Our blood is a good example of a buffered system. It is maintained under a pH of 7.4. Thus‚ buffers are important in many areas of chemistry

PREPARING BUFFERS AND BUFFER CAPACITY INTRODUCTION A buffer solution is one in which the pH of the solution is "resistant" to small additions of either a strong acid or strong base. Buffers usually consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base‚ in relatively equal and "large" quantities. A buffer system can be made by mixing a soluble compound that contains the conjugate base with a solution of the acid such as sodium acetate with acetic acid or ammonia with ammonium chloride. The buffer capacity

Messing 8/3/12 Section 623 Abstract To examine the effectiveness of buffers by titrating two sets of five different solutions using HCl and NaOH and monitoring the pH change of the various solutions. The data collected shows that the buffer systems made with sodium acetate and acetic acid were effect when titrated with the strong acid and the strong base. Comparison of all the solutions shows that the concepts of buffers holds true for the results from the experimentation. Introduction The

Buffers‚ and pH‚ and Diffusion oh my The pH of a solution is the measure of the concentration of charged Hydrogen ions in that given solution. A solution with a pH lower than seven is considered to be acidic. A solution with a higher pH is a base. It is very important for organisms to maintain a stable pH. Biological molecules such as proteins function only at a certain pH level and any changes in pH can result in them not functioning properly. To maintain these constant pH levels‚ buffer solutions
