What will happen to the ph of a buffer if acid/base ratio is increased by 100?
plz respond within an hour : )

It will decrease by 2 units.

Explanation:

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a buffer is

pH = pKa + log(base/acid)

Let's assume your acid has pKa = 5.

(a) If the base: acid ratio is 1:1,

pH(1) = 5 + log(1/1) = 5  + log(1) = 5 + 0 = 5

(b) If the base: acid ratio is 1:100,

pH(2) = 5 + log(1/100) = 5  + log(0.01) = 5 - 2 = 3

(c) Difference

ΔpH = pH(2) - pH(1) = 5 - 3 = -2

If you increase the acid:base ratio to 100:1, the pH will decrease by two units.

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
