Question

A buffer solution is all of the following EXCEPT: a solution that contains both a weak acid and its conjugate base. a solution that resists a change in pH when a base is added. a solution that regulates pH because it is such a strong acid or base. a solution that resists a change in pH when an acid is added. All of the above are true.

Answer 1

Answer:

A SOLUTION THAT REGULATES pH BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A STRONG ACID OR BASE

Explanation:

A buffer solution is an aqueous solution consisting of a weak acid and its conjugate base. It is an aqueous solution used to keep the pH of solution at a nearly constant value in various chemical processes. It resists change in pH when either a strong acid or a strong base  is added. So it is very essential in various chemical applications and even in the human body as the blood pH is kept in nearly constant value by the bicarbonate buffer system in conjunction with the kidneys. The buffer solution is able to keep this nearly constant range of values because of the equilibrium between the weak acid and its conjugate base. So therefore, the incorrect statement in the options is that buffer solution is a solution that regulates pH because it is such a strong acid or base. The other options are correct.
