Question

You have two buffer solutions 1) weak acid and its conjugate base 2)weak base and its conjugate acid. Write explicitly ( considering generic formula for acid and base) the equations of neutralization when you:

a) add strong acid and strong base 1)
b) add strong acid or strong base in 2)
HA = acid
A^- = conjugate base

HA + OH^- ==> H2O + A^-
A^- + H^+ ==> HA

You can do the other one.
I am trying to do the next one but I am still confused.
Would the next one simply be HA+OH^- ----> H2O + A^- ?
weak base = BH
conjugate acid = BH2^+

add strong acid:
BH + H^+ ==> BH^+

add strong base:
BH2^ + OH^- ==> BH + H2O
