This study guide covers buffers, including what they are and their importance in maintaining stable pH. It explains how buffers form from weak acid/conjugate base pairs, emphasizing the importance of comparable concentrations for maximum buffer capacity. It details how buffers resist pH changes by neutralizing added acids or bases. The guide also includes practice questions covering buffer identification, pH calculations using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, and buffer capacity.
