Both members of the conjugate acid-base pair in a buffer solution need to be weak (weak acid and weak base). The weak acid component neutralizes added base and the weak basic component neutralizes ...

Acids have a pH less than 7 and bases have a pH greater than 7. A pH of 7 is considered neutral. Question 1: How does the concentration of buffer components in a solution affect the change in pH when ...
