Buffer Problem
« on: April 05, 2008, 09:02:45 PM »
Hmm.. another question. I think it's easy if you get it.. But I don't. XD

"Determine whether or not the mixing of each of the two solutions indicated below will result in a buffer.

175 mL of .1M NH3; 150 mL of .12 NaOH"

How do you find this out?

Well, start with the textbook definition of a buffer.

So i'm guessing the extra information it gives you is nonsense because it's a weak base* and a strong base mixed together...

That is not absolutely true, NH3 may react with water in solution, or with OH-, and become something else ...
