Yea, I thought that I could somehow compare different buffer combinations at the buffer region, getting the area under the curve from 0 titrant added to equivalence point. Stronger buffers will be flatter thus will give less area, vice versa.

Hey chemists I'm trying to establish a conceptual relationship about acid base buffers for my calc bc final project. So for my project, I had an inspiration from the fact that titration curves get steeper the stronger the buffers are, and that the area under the curve changes so there is somehow an inverse relationship between buffer strength and the area under the curve.

However, I've found struggles conceptually on how to conduct the experiment because there isn't really such a thing like a buffer constant associated with each acid base buffer combination. So even if I get the area under the curve for different titration processes, I couldn't really relate them.

I've also found difficulties in setting up the initial conditions for different acid base buffers that would make them suitable for comparison. Perhaps a constant concentration of conjugate acid/base whatever throughout the buffer combinations?

I'm really intrigued about the concept of incorporating calculus to find relationships in chemistry, but at the same time I'm really perplexed. Is my proposed experiment practical? Or does it even make sense in the first place?

Complete the changes in concentrations for each of the following reactions:

AgI(s)⟶Ag+(aq)x+I−(aq)
