Which of the following is true of a buffer prepared with equal concentrations of an acid and its conjugate base?
A) The buffer capacity depends on the concentration of the acid and base
B) The pH depends on the concentration of the buffer
C) both a and b
D) neither a nor b

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The buffer capacity is influenced by the concentration of the acid and base, as higher concentrations can neutralize more added acid or base. The pH of the buffer, however, is determined by the pKa of the acid and the ratio of the concentrations of the acid and its conjugate base, not the overall concentration of the buffer.
