A) Why does a buffer solution require a weak acid/base
conjugate pair, as opposed to a strong acid, and its
conjugate?
A strong acid will completely dissociate, suggesting that the
conjugate base is really weak and will not neutralize any
additional H+ ions.
A strong acid will completely dissociate, suggesting that the
conjugate base is really strong and will not neutralize any
additional H+ ions.
A strong acid will only partially dissociate, suggesting that
the conjugate base is really weak...
