3. Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach3 Buffers buffers are solutions that resist changes in pH when an acid or base is added they act by neutralizing the added acid or base but just like everything else, there is a limit to what they can do, eventually the pH changes many buffers are made by mixing a solution of a weak acid with a solution of soluble salt containing its conjugate base anion

5. Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach5 How Acid Buffers Work HA (aq) + H 2 O (l)  A − (aq) + H 3 O + (aq) buffers work by applying Le Châtelier’s Principle to weak acid equilibrium buffer solutions contain significant amounts of the weak acid molecules, HA – these molecules react with added base to neutralize it you can also think of the H 3 O + combining with the OH − to make H 2 O; the H 3 O + is then replaced by the shifting equilibrium the buffer solutions also contain significant amounts of the conjugate base anion, A − - these ions combine with added acid to make more HA and keep the H 3 O + constant

30. Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach30 Do I Use the Full Equilibrium Analysis or the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation? the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is generally good enough when the “x is small” approximation is applicable generally, the “x is small” approximation will work when both of the following are true: a) the initial concentrations of acid and salt are not very dilute b) the K a is fairly small for most problems, this means that the initial acid and salt concentrations should be over 1000x larger than the value of K a

31. Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach31 How Much Does the pH of a Buffer Change When an Acid or Base Is Added? though buffers do resist change in pH when acid or base are added to them, their pH does change calculating the new pH after adding acid or base requires breaking the problem into 2 parts 1. a stoichiometry calculation for the reaction of the added chemical with one of the ingredients of the buffer to reduce its initial concentration and increase the concentration of the other added acid reacts with the A − to make more HA added base reacts with the HA to make more A − 2. an equilibrium calculation of [H 3 O + ] using the new initial values of [HA] and [A − ]
