think about it.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

Take a look at the plot in buffer capacity lecture - where does the buffer capacity has maximum value?
