Description

This tutorial describes the concept of the effectiveness of a buffer’s ability to offset the effects of adding a strong acid or base on the pH of a system.

Resource Type	Tutorial ChemCollective tutorials walk students through solving chemistry problems movies, text, and interactive tutors. Because the hints given by these tutors ultimately provide the solution to the problem, they are similar to worked examples in a textbook. Currently, we have tutorials covering concepts in stoichiometry, buffers, and equilibrium.
