100 mL of a 0.1 mM buffer solution made from acetic acid and sodium acetate with pH 5.0 is diluted to 1 L. What is the pH of the diluted solution?
Answered by DrBob222
In round numbers the pH is 5.0. You dilute the base along with the acid and by the same amount; therefore, the ratio of base to acid stays the same and the pH doesn't change. Dilution has no effect on the pH of a buffer but of course we all know that has limitations.
