Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a buffer system that can maintain a pH of 7.4, suitable for biological applications. Which weak acid and its conjugate base would you choose?

💡 Hint: Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to support your argument.

Question 2
