Buffer solution: what is it and how does it work to resist changes in its pH? A buffer is a solution that resists changes in its pH when small amounts of strong acid or base is added to it. …
Is conjugate acid always stronger than its conjugate base? No! According to Brønsted-Lowry the strength of an acid depends on how well it can donate a proton, while the strength of a base depends …

What is the concept of “conjugate” in acid-base chemistry? A conjugate means a “mate.” If we translate this meaning to acid-base chemistry, then we can say that every acid is tied to its mate called …
