Buffered Solutions
A solution that resists a change in pH when either hydroxide ions orprotons are added.
Buffered solutions contain either:
A weak acid and its salt
A weak base and its salt
Acid/Salt Buffering Pairs
Weak AcidFormula
of the acidExample of a salt of the
weak acidHydrofluoric HF KF – Potassium fluoride
Formic HCOOH KHCOO – Potassium formate
Benzoic C6H5COOH NaC6H5COO – Sodium benzoate
Acetic CH3COOH NaH3COO – Sodium acetate
Carbonic H2CO3 NaHCO3 - Sodium bicarbonate
Propanoic HC3H5O2 NaC3H5O2 - Sodium propanoate
Hydrocyanic HCN KCN - potassium cyanide
The salt will contain the anion of the acid, and the cation of a strong base (NaOH, KOH)
Base/Salt Buffering PairsThe salt will contain the cation of the base, and the anion of a strong acid (HCl, HNO3)
BaseFormula of the base
Example of a salt of the weak acid
Ammonia NH3 NH4Cl - ammonium chloride
Methylamine CH3NH2 CH3NH2Cl – methylammonium chloride
Ethylamine C2H5NH2 C2H5NH3NO3 - ethylammonium nitrate
Aniline C6H5NH2 C6H5NH3Cl – aniline hydrochloride
Pyridine C5H5N C5H5NHCl – pyridine hydrochloride
