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 115 mL of a buffer that is 0.340 M in both propanoic acid (C2H5COOH) and its conjugate base (C2H5COO–).
Calculate the maximum volume of 0.450 M HCl that can be added to the buffer before its buffering capacity is lost.
