Buffer capacity is a measure of a buffer solution's resistance to changes in pH as strong acid or base is added. Suppose that you have 175 mL of a buffer that is 0.460 M in both propanoic acid (C,H,COOH) and its conjugate base (C,H,COO"). Calculate the maximum volume of 0.380 M HCI that can be added to the buffer before its buffering capacity is lost.

Question
Buffer capacity is a measure of a buffer solution's resistance to changes in pH as strong acid or base is added.
Suppose that you have 175 mL of a buffer that is 0.460 M in both propanoic acid (C,H,COOH) and its conjugate base
(C,H,CO0-). Calculate the maximum volume of 0.380 M HCl that can be added to the buffer before its buffering capacity
is lost.
