General ideas about buffers
If acid is added: F−(aq)+H3O+(aq) ⇌ HF(aq)+H2O(l) In this reaction, the conjugate base, F, will neutralize the added acid, H3O+ , and...
General ideas about buffers
When Sodium Fluoride dissolves in water, the reaction goes to completion, thus we obtain: NaF(aq)+H2O(l) →Na+(aq)+F−(aq) Since Na+ is the...
General ideas about buffers
In order to clarify this effect, we can consider the simple example of a Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) and Sodium Fluoride (NaF) buffer....
General ideas about buffers
How does a buffer work? A buffer is able to resist pH change because the two components (conjugate acid and conjugate base) are both...
General ideas about buffers
What is a buffer composed of? To effectively maintain a pH range, a buffer must consist of a weak conjugate acid-base pair, meaning...
General ideas about buffers
A buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small...
Video summaries: Ways to get a buffer solution
Our second situation is when you get a buffer by accident, this happens when you mix a weak acid with a strong base or a strong acid with...
Video summaries: Ways to get a buffer solution
You can end up with a buffer with two different ways: 1- When you want to make a buffer with a specific pH and 2 when you end up with one...
Video summaries: Buffer capacity
In the example given by the video, we can see that the buffer one’s pH went up very little but in buffer two it went almost to six; this...
Video summaries: Buffer capacity
Is a property of a buffer that tells you how much acid or base you can add before your pH starts changing and as your buffer capacity...
