Answer the following questions: on a 10-fold dilution of a weak acid, the ph will on a 10-fold dilution of a buffered solution, the ph will if one adds a small amount of strong base to a buffered solution, the ph will can you make a buffer using a strong acid? explain. how can you adjust the ph of a buffer solution? explain.

Increase; remain constant, remain constant; No; by adjusting the acid:base ratio of the buffer.

Explanation:

On a 10-fold dilution of a weak acid, the pH will INCREASE and that is because strong acids are not found in buffers, therefore, diluting a strong acid reduces the amount of hydrogen ions,H^+ present, consequently increasing the pH.

On a 10-fold dilution of a buffered solution, the pH will REMAIN CONSTANT because diluting a buffer does not affect the pH of the buffer.

If one adds a small amount of strong base to a buffered solution, the pH will REMAIN CONSTANT because the buffer will equalize the strong base, however, the pH may increase just a little.

One can not make a buffer solution using a strong acid because  Buffers are composed of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid, and weak acids or bases only dissociate partially. Strong acids dissociate completely, they overpower the reaction and move the reaction to completion.

pH of a buffer solution can be adjusted using by adjusting the acid:base ratio of the buffer.

b. accuracy of the data matters alot more than its number of digits, organization or amount of detail. quantitative observation is more accepted than the qualitative observation.
