8.10 Buffer Capacity
8.9 Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
8.4 Acid-Base Reactions and Buffers
A student prepares two acetate buffer mixtures at \(25^\circ\text{C}\). Each mixture has a volume of \(50.0\text{ mL}\). The student adds \(2.00\text{ mL}\) of \(0.100\text{ M}\) \(\text{NaOH(aq)}\) to each mixture and records the data shown below.
Which statement correctly compares the buffer capacities and explains the results?
| Mixture | Initial \([\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}]\) | Initial \([\text{CH}_3\text{COO}^-]\) | Initial pH | pH after addition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | \(0.100\text{ M}\) | \(0.100\text{ M}\) | \(4.74\) | \(4.78\) |
| 2 | \(0.0100\text{ M}\) | \(0.0100\text{ M}\) | \(4.74\) | \(5.11\) |
Which statement correctly compares the buffer capacities and explains the results?
