This study guide covers acid-base reactions and buffers. It explains what buffers are, their importance in homeostasis, and how they're created. It details strong acid-strong base reactions, weak acid-strong base reactions, and the use of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Key concepts include net ionic equations, stoichiometry, titration regions (acid excess, base excess, equimolar), and buffer regions. The guide also provides practice questions and exam tips.
