Higher the amount of acid or base used to product a deinite change of pH in a buffer solution, higher will be its buffe capacity. Buffer capcity of solution is maximum under the following conditions [Salt] = [Acid](in acid buffer) [Salt] = [Base] (in base capacity] pH of buffer solution lies inthe range given below pH = pH_(a) +-1 In other words,any buffer solution can be used as buffer up to two pH units only, depending upon the value of pK_(a) or pK_(b) . A buffer is said to be efficient when pH = pK_(a) or pOH = pK_(b) Buffer capacity is maximum when
