Chapter 17, Problem 17.2VC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of $\text{pH}$ of given buffer solution while adding 100mL of water has to be explained

Concept introduction:

• Buffer solution is defined as a solution that oppose changes in $\text{pH}$ while adding little amount of either an acid or a base.
• Buffer solution is a combination of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.
• pH of a solution is a measure of concentration of hydrogen ion in a solution. Lower $\text{pH}$ due to more hydrogen ions and higher $\text{pH}$ due to less concentration of hydrogen ions.
