Buffer capacity is a measure of a buffer solution\'s resistance to changes in pH as strong acid or base is added. Suppose that you have 135 mL of a buffer that is 0.400 M in both acetic acid (CH3COOH) and its conjugate base (CH3COO–). Calculate the maximum volume of 0.340 M HCl that can be added to the buffer before its buffering capacity is lost.
