For biological buffer systems, buffer acids capacity is usually greater than buffer bases capacity. Why?
If a buffer solution is 0.110 M in a weak base (?b= 7.2×10^−5) and 0.460 M in its conjugate acid, what is the pH?
Calculate the resulting pH when 1.00L of 1.00M H2SO4 is added to a tank containing 1.00*107 L of pure water.

- A solution is prepared by mixing 80 mL of 0.2 M KH2PO4 and 120 mL of 0.2 M K2HPO4 . What is its pH?arrow_forwardAn episode of CSI: Miami had a deceased victim floating in a swimming pool contaminated with sodium hydroxide. The concentration was high enough to eat through glass. When the CSI guys realized it was alkali (ie., a base) they knew they needed to neutralize it in order to retrieve the body so they sent one of their team to a local store for vinegar. They proceeded to pour vinegar from a couple of gallon jugs into the pool, dropping the pH from 14 to exactly 7.0 all within a few seconds, and without any stirring! The volume of swimming pool is 100,000L. Vinegar is approximately a 1.0 M of acetic acid, HC2H3O2, a monoprotic acid. A pH of 14 is equivalent to 1.0 M solution of sodium hydroxide,NaOH. Using your knowledge of chemistry, comment on whether or not the events described in the episode of CSI: Miami could take placearrow_forward
