Question

c) What is the pH of the buffer system in part a when 0.030 moles of strong acid are added (without a change in volume)

Answer 1

remain the same

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH of the buffer system remain the same when 0.030 moles of strong acid are added because buffer system has the property to resist any change in the pH when acid or base is added to the solution. In buffer system, one molecule is responsible for neutralizing the pH of the solution by giving H+ or OH-.This molecule is known as buffer agent. If more base is added, the molecule provide H+ and when more acid is added to the solution, then the molecule add OH- to the solution.
