A structured KS5 lesson including starter activity, AfL work tasks and main work task all with answers on ** Explaining How Buffer Solutions Work** (Suitable for the OCR specification)
By the end of this lesson KS5 students should be able to:
- To know a buffer solution is a system that minimises pH changes on addition of small amounts of an acid or base
- To describe how a buffer solution is formed using weak acids, salts and strong alkalis
- To explain the role of the conjugate acid-base pair in an acid buffer solution such as how the blood pH is controlled by the carbonic acid–hydrogencarbonate buffer system
