Q

What is the affect of adding an acid to an acidic buffer

A

Equilibrium shifts to the left

H+ ions react with A- to form more HA

Q

What is the effect of adding a base to an acidic buffer

A

Equilibrium shifts to the right
OH- ions react with H+ ions removing them from solution
So more acid dissociates

16
Q

what is an acidic buffer

A

pH less than 7
contain a mixture of weak acid with one it’s salts
resist pH when acid or base is added

17
Q

what is a basic buffer

A

pH greater than 7
contain a mixture of a weak base with one of it’s salts
resist pH when acid or base is added

18
Q

what is the effect of adding an acid to a basic buffer

A

equlibrium moves to the right
to replace the OH- ions removed
as H+ ions react with OH- ions

19
Q

what is the effect of adding a base to a basic buffer

A

equlibrium moves to the left
as OH- ions react with salt to form base
so equlibrium shifts to remove OH- ions
