The same as alittle molecule but it would be in a mase quantity...
<span>H2CO3 <---> H+ + HCO3-
NaHCO3 <---> Na+ + HCO3-
When acid is added in the buffer, the excess H+ of that acid reacts with HCO3- to form H2CO3, and due to this NaHCO3 dissociates into HCO3- to attain the equilibrium. and hence there is no net effect of H+ due to pH remain almost constant.
when a base is added to the buffer, the OH- ion of base react eith H+ ion present in buffer, then to attain equilibrium of H+ ion, the H2CO3 dissociates to produce H+ ion, but now there is the excess of HCO3- due to which Na+ ion react with them to attain equilibrium of HCO3-. hence there is again no net change in H+ ion due to which pH remain constant.....</span>
First read the introduction.
Seconds look at the pictures how to build it.
The answer is electrolytes. Strong electrolytes like strong acids, strong bases and salts dissociate completely into ions when dissolved and no neutral molecules are present in their solution. Weak electrolytes like weak acids and weak bases do not completely ionize in water and some neutral molecules are present in their solution, while nonelectrolytes do not dissociate into ions when in solution at all.
