All of the given options are important in deciding if a buffer will be effective for an experiment. The pKs1U1B1aS1U1B0 of the buffer compound determines the pH range over which the buffer can effectively resist changes in pH. The buffer capacity reflects the amount of acid or base that can be added to a solution before a significant change in pH occurs. The concentration of the buffer affects the amount of acid or base that can be neutralized by the buffer. Finally, knowing whether the experiment is likely to generate hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions is important in selecting an appropriate buffer that can neutralize these ions and maintain a stable pH.
