When 2mol of HCI is added to 1L of an acidic buffer, its pH changes from 3.4 to 2.9 . The buffer capacity of the buffer solution is

An acidic buffer solution can be prepared by mixing solution of

The pH of basic buffer mixtures is given by : pH=pK_(a)+log((["Base"])/(["Salt"])) , whereas pH of acidic buffer mixtures is given by: pH= pK_(a)+log((["Salt"])/(["Acid"])) . Addition of little acid or base although shows no appreciable change for all practical purpose, but since the ratio (["Base"])/(["Salt"]) or (["Salt"])/(["Acid"]) change, a slight decrease or increase in pH results in. A solution containing 0.2 mole of dichloroacetic acid (K_(a)=5xx10^(-2)) and 0.1 mole sodium dichloroacetate in one litre solution has [H^(+)] :

These act as acid-base buffers in plasma

Assertion : Mixture of CH_(3)COOH and CH_(3)COONH_(4) is an example of acidic buffer. Reason : Acidic buffer contains equimolar mixture of weak acid and its salt with weak base.
