About this document

Buffer Index vs. Buffer Capacity Explained by Eduardo Castro is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses the differences between buffer index (β) and buffer capacity (BC) for a simple buffer solution. [1] The buffer index (β) is defined as the ratio of the change in the amount of strong acid or base added to the pH variation. The buffer capacity (BC) is defined by IUPAC as the amount of strong acid or base needed to change the pH by one unit in 1 L of buffer solution. [2] For a simple buffer solution, the buffer index (β) and buffer capacity (BC) are not equivalent because their defi
