The buffer solution is a mixture of NH3 (weak base) and NH4 (salt or
acid conjugation).
How the acid buffer works
Examples of Acid Buffer Solutions: CH3COOH and CH3COO-
In the solution occurs equilibrium:
CH3COOH → CH3COO- + H+
Addition of acid: will shift left balance, H + ion added will react with
CH3COO- forming CH3COOH.
CH3COO- + H+ → CH3COOH
Addition of bases: OH- ions from bases will react with H+ ions to form
water, so the equilibrium shifts to right and the concentration of H+
ions can be maintained. So the base added will practically react with
CH3COOH to form CH3COO- and water:
CH3COOH + OH- → CH3COO- + H2O
How the base buffers work
Examples of basic buffer solutions: NH3 and NH4+
In equilibrium solution
NH3 + H2O → NH4+ + OH-
Addition of acid: the H+ ion from the acid binds OH- ions, so the
equilibrium shifts to the right and the concentration of OH- ions can be
maintained. The added acid reacts with NH3 to form NH4+
Base addition: addition of base will shift the equilibrium to the left so
that the concentration of OH- ions can be maintained. The added base
reacts with acids (in this case NH4+) to form bases (NH3) and water.
NH4+ + OH- → NH3 + H2O
Calculate the pH of the Buffer Solution

[𝑎]
H+ = Ka x [𝑔]
pH = - log H+

PHENOMENON
In the afternoon the weather is very hot, Faisal, Bayu and Angga cycled after
school. Then they stopped at their respective shops to buy iced tea, soft drinks and
isotonic drinks. They drank it immediately, but they still had half of their drink
left. until at home they immediately put down their drinks and immediately
played. the next day they saw his drink, it turned out that Faisal's iced tea was
stale. while soft and isotonic drinks are still fresh. Stale iced tea drinks due to
changes in pH value. They see the composition of the drink. Soft drinks and
isotonic drinks contain nitric acid and sodium citrate. While iced tea does not
contain nitric acid and sodium citrate. The next day, they asked the teacher, and
the teacher gave advice to them to test the three drinks by adding a solution of
HCl, NaOH and Aquades.
