However, I just encountered a problem on AAMC#4 in which I had to calculate the initial concentrations of a buffer solution set at pH 8.7 using the henderson-hasselbach equation and the ratio/correct answer was 100:1 for ratio of conj. base to acid in solution. How is this possible??? doesnt this mean it is NOT a buffer??
the q says: the pka for the disassociation of h2po4- to hpo4 is 6.7. what is the initial ratio of hpo4- to h2po4- in the buffer solution of experiment 1 (where ph was...
TBR chapter on Buffers says max ratio between conj. base and acid can be 10:1
