When the pH of the solution is equal to the pKa of the ionizing group, the solution is functioning at maximum buffering capacity (best buffer). An aqueous solution of a conjugate acid/base pair functions as a good. buffer when the ratio of the conjugate base to weak acid ranges from 1:9. to 9:1.
Definitions â¢ Buffer: A buffer is defined as a solution of two or more chemical compounds that prevent marked changes in H + ion concentration when either an acid or base is added to solution. â¢ A sponge â¢ Acid: Proton donor.â¢ Base: Proton acceptor. Strong/Weak Acids â¢ Acids are proton donors.â¢ A strong acid is one where complete dissociation of the compound occurs. â¢ Hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid are strong acids. â¢ A weak acid is one where incomplete dissociation of the compound occurs. â¢ Carbonic acid and acetic acid are weak acids.
