Why Can't a Strong Acid Be Used to Make a Buffer?

This video discusses the reasons why strong acid (or strong bases) cannot be used to make a buffer solution.

Awesome, Sarah. I was struggling with this whole idea. I spent about two hours trying to understand it and in less than 3 mins. you got me smiling. Thank you so much. May the good Lord richly bless and keep you and help you in all you do.
Take care, dear.

Thanks Sarah. I work in a warehouse where we use a scrubber to remove HCl from the fumes. We were told by a technician to replace the water because the pH was too low. I asked why we couldn't just add NaOh. I was told that NaCl would be produced creating a buffer. That didn't sound right for the reason you stayed in this video.

Thanks sooo much for this video it has removed the maximum confusion

thanks a lot 🫡 i am from Bangladesh. Today is my exam and i am too much worried about the topic but now it is fully clear to me. Thanks for helping me and others to understand the method too easily ❤❤

AWESOME, loved it. keep making more for us to have a clear concept on stuffs

[ankittiwari]

Thanks ur doing a grate job please please keep it up, 😂😂😂😂😂😂 and i am very thankful of ur videos as they are very easy to understand

Thank you so much Sarah!! You were able to efficiently and effectively explain this idea to me and it helped me lots! Hope you are doing well :)

but isnt it reactivity that makes a reaction favor one direction so strongly?

[andrewjustin]

Hey, Sara. Why are you kept on saying "pretty much" every time you end a video; I also heard you saying it in other buffer videos too. Does that have to do with more critical information that you assume is trivial and not worth sharing? And there are more reasons behind it?

What happened to NaCl's pH if HCl is added to NaCl?

[vishchoudhary]

Which are maximum strong oxy acid?1-h3po4 2-h3aso4 3_hno3

Why weak acid can't be buffer itself?
For example is CH3COOH ↔️ CH3COO- + H+
If H+ added, so it reacts with CH3COO- forming CH3COOH
If OH- added, so it reacts with CH3COOH forming water and CH3COO-

[paolafelippicoelho]

what if we use hcl/kcl? why can kcl addition increase ph?

[ImSuperBisso]

But all reactions are reversible in nature according to thermodynamics

You talk to fast, please talk slowly. Sarah.
