What characteristic properties do buffered solutions possess


Asked by maham237 @ in Chemistry viewed by 303 People


A solution is buffered by the presence of the combination of a strong acid and its conjugate base.

The solution shows only a small change in its pH when a strong acid or base is added.

The solution resists change in its pH only when a weak acid or base is added to it.

The solution shows significant change in its pH when any acid or base is added.

The solution shows only a small change in its pH when a strong acid or base is added and the solution resists change in its pH only when a weak acid or base is added to it are the characteristic properties the buffered solutions possess.

Options B and C

Explanation:

A solution is precipitated by the presence of weaker acid and its joint base (or vice versa). Buffer solutions are used to maintain the pH level of a chemical reaction at a constant level.

The solution shows only a small change in its pH when small amount of strong base or acid is added. Solutions resist any change in its pH when a weak base or acid is added. The buffer solution's pH is affected only when a certain concentration of bases or acids is added.
