Buffer capacity is a measure of a buffer solution's resistance to changes in pH as strong acid or base is added. Suppose that you have 125 mL of a buffer that is 0.360 M in both acetic acid ( CH 3 COOH ) and its conjugate base ( CH 3 COO − ) . Calculate the maximum volume of 0.300 M HCl that can be added to the buffer before its buffering capacity is lost.

Phosgene (carbonyl chloride), cocl2, is an extremely toxic gas that is used in manufacturing certain dyes and plastics. phosgene can be produced by reacting carbon monoxide and chlorine gas at high temperatures: co(g) cl2(g)⇌cocl2(g) carbon monoxide and chlorine gas are allowed to react in a sealed vessel at 477 ∘c . at equilibrium, the concentrations were measured and the following results obtained: gas partial pressure (atm) co 0.830 cl2 1.30 cocl2 0.220 what is the equilibrium constant, kp, of this reaction
