Which solution has the greatest buffering capacity? A)0.335 M NH₃ and 0.100 M NH₄Cl B)0.085 M NH₃ and 0.090 M NH₄Cl C)0.540 M NH₃ and 0.550 M NH₄Cl D)0.200 M NH₃ and 0.565 M NH₄Cl E)They are all buffer solutions and would all have the same capacity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Buffering capacity is determined by the concentration of the weak acid and its conjugate base. In option C, both the weak acid and its conjugate base have higher concentrations compared to the other options, indicating a higher buffering capacity. Therefore, option C has the greatest buffering capacity.
