What are buffers made of? How does a buffer work? Can a buffer be designed to be effective in a given pH range? Is there such a thing as an ideal buffer? The purpose of this advanced-inquiry lab kit is to design a buffer solution that will be effective in a specific pH range and to verify its buffer capacity.
Students begin the investigation with an introductory activity to explore the composition and pH of ideal buffers and compare their pH changes when a strong acid and base are added. Understanding the properties of buffers prepares students for the guided-inquiry challenge—to design a buffer that will provide effective protection at a specific pH and that will have the capacity to maintain the pH within a narrow range when prescribed amounts of acid and base are added.
FLINNprep is just one of the powerful learning pathways accessed via PAVO, Flinn’s award-winning gateway to standards-aligned digital science content paired with hands-on learning.
Complete for 24 students working in pairs.
