What is the effect on the concentration of acetic acid, hydronium ion, and acetate ion when the following are added to an acidic buffer solution of equal concentrations of acetic acid and sodium acetate:
(a) HCl
(b) KCH 3 CO 2
(c) NaCl
(d) KOH
(e) CH 3 CO 2 H
(a) The added HCl will increase the concentration of H
3 O
+ slightly, which will react with
and produce CH
3 CO
2 H in the process. Thus,
decreases and [CH
3 CO
2 H] increases.
(b) The added KCH
3 CO
2 will increase the concentration of
which will react with H
3 O
+ and produce CH
3 CO
2 H in the process. Thus, [H
3 O
+ ] decreases slightly and [CH
3 CO
2 H] increases.
(c) The added NaCl will have no effect on the concentration of the ions.
(d) The added KOH will produce OH
− ions, which will react with the H
3 O
+ , thus reducing [H
3 O
+ ]. Some additional CH
3 CO
2 H will dissociate, producing
ions in the process. Thus, [CH
3 CO
2 H] decreases slightly and
increases.
(e) The added CH
3 CO
2 H will increase its concentration, causing more of it to dissociate and producing more
and H
3 O
+ in the process. Thus, [H
3 O
+ ] increases slightly and
increases.
What is the effect on the concentration of ammonia, hydroxide ion, and ammonium ion when the following are added to a basic buffer solution of equal concentrations of ammonia and ammonium nitrate:

Which acid in [link] is most appropriate for preparation of a buffer solution with a pH of 3.1? Explain your choice.
To prepare the best buffer for a weak acid HA and its salt, the ratio
should be as close to 1 as possible for effective buffer action. The [H

For buffers with pHs>7, you should use a weak base and its salt. The most effective buffer will have a ratio
