Questions and Answers

What chemical equilibrium is responsible for the pH resistance in buffer solutions?

  • Equilibrium between a weak acid and its conjugate base (correct)
  • Equilibrium between a strong acid and a weak base
  • Equilibrium between two weak bases
  • Equilibrium between two strong acids

What is a buffer solution primarily known for?

  • Maintaining a constantly increasing pH on dilution or addition of acid/base
  • Causing significant pH changes on dilution or addition of acid/base
  • Having no effect on pH when diluted or when acid/base is added
  • Resisting significant pH changes on dilution or addition of acid/base (correct)

How does the addition of a strong acid affect the equilibrium in a buffer solution?

  • Shifts the equilibrium to the left (correct)
