8.10 Buffer Capacity
8.9 Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
8.8 Properties of Buffers
A student prepares two different buffer solutions at \(25^\circ\text{C}\) using nitrous acid, \(\text{HNO}_2\), and sodium nitrite, \(\text{NaNO}_2\), as summarized in the table below.
To a separate \(100.0\text{ mL}\) sample of each buffer solution, the student adds \(1.0\text{ mmol}\) of \(\text{HCl(aq)}\) with negligible change in volume. Which of the following correctly compares the initial \(\text{pH}\) of the two buffers and the magnitude of the \(\text{pH}\) change, \(|\Delta\text{pH}|\), resulting from the addition of the \(\text{HCl(aq)}\)?
| Buffer solution | Volume (mL) | \([\text{HNO}_2]\) (M) | \([\text{NaNO}_2]\) (M) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | \(100.0\) | \(0.50\) | \(0.50\) |
| 2 | \(100.0\) | \(0.050\) | \(0.050\) |
