A buffered solution has a pH of 7.5. What would happen to the pH if a small amount of acid were added?

Dear user,

Answer to your query is provided below

When small amount of acid was added to buffered solution, pH will change very less.

Explanation:

Buffer solution resists change in ph on adding small amount of acid or base but when we calculate the value of buffer capacity we take the change in ph when we add acid or base to 1 lit solution of buffer.This contradicts the definition of buffer solution.
