Title: 1 mole of HCl and 1 mole of NaOH
Post by: Gammagirl on March 26, 2018, 09:06:04 PM
Will 1 mole of HCl and 1 mole of NaOH create a buffer?

They won't. They will make water and NaCl.

But, the ph is 7.

But, the ph is 7.

Based on what?  A measurement?  A calculation?  What is the definition of a buffer?  How does it work?  How does a solution of NaCl function as a buffer?  How will the Na+ and Cl- ions react to consume H+ and OH-?

You can answer all of these questions if you try, by studying class notes, your text book or doing some of the calculations.

Don't ask each one one at a time.  You won't remember the first answer by the time you get to the last one, and you'll ask the first one again.  That's no way to learn.

Yes, Sir. I am sorry and understand. Thank-you for the succinct explanation.

What is the buffer definition?

But, the ph is 7.

pH of pure water is 7 as well, does it make it a buffer?
