How does the Buffer Capacity work?

β = 2.303 × Ca × Cb / (Ca + Cb) Then: Ca = acid concentration · Cb = base concentration Then: Maximum when Ca = Cb (equal concentrations) Then: Higher total buffer concentration → higher capacity.

Can you give an example of how to use the Buffer Capacity?

Example: Input 0.1M acetic acid + 0.1M sodium acetate gives a result of β = 2.303 × 0.1 × 0.1 / 0.2 = 0.115 mol/L (Maximum buffer capacity for these concentrations).

Is the Buffer Capacity free to use?

Acid concentration (mol/L)

Base concentration (mol/L)

Buffer capacity (β) measures how much acid or base a buffer solution can absorb before the pH changes significantly. It depends on the total concentration of the buffer and is maximum when [HA] = [A⁻] (i.e., pH = pKa).

Did You Know?

Physiological buffers (blood, cells) maintain pH within ±0.05 units despite continuous metabolic acid production. Loss of buffer capacity in disease states like renal failure is life-threatening.
