4.in activity 1, why did the ph of the buffer solutions change after the addition of 10 drops of 0.1 m naoh?

Respuesta :

The Ph of the buffer solutions change after the addition of 10 drops of 0.1m NaOH because when a strong base (OH-) is added to the buffer solution, the hydroxide ions are consumed by the weak acid that results forming water and the weaker conjugate base of the acid.

A buffer solution is an aqueous solution which consists of a mixture of weak acid and its conjugate base. Its PH changes in little amounts when we add small quantity of acid or base to it.

When we add a strong base (OH-) to the buffer solution, the hydroxide ions are consumed by the weak acid which results in forming water and the weaker conjugate base of the acid. As a result the amount of the weak acid decreases while the amount of the conjugate base increases.
