Calculate Buffer Density



Formula

To calculate the Buffer Density (BD):

\[ BD = \frac{M}{V} \]

Where:

What is Buffer Density?

Buffer density is a measure of the concentration of a buffer solution, which is a solution that resists changes in pH when acids or bases are added. It is expressed as the mass of the solute (usually a weak acid or base and its salt) in grams per liter of solution. Buffer density is important in various chemical and biological processes where maintaining a stable pH is crucial.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ BD = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \text{ g/L} \]

The Buffer Density is 5 g/L.
