which of the following statements regarding the buffer capacity of a buffer system are true?select all that apply:if enough strong base is added to a buffer to react with all of the weak acid present, the buffer can no longer neutralize additional amounts of base, and the ph will dramatically increase.a 1l of a solution that is 1.0m in acetic acid and 1.0m in sodium acetate has a smaller buffer capacity than 1l of a solution that is 0.10m in acetic acid and 0.10m in sodium acetate even though both solutions have the same ph.increasing in the concentration of weak acid and its conjugate base will increase the buffer capacity of a solution.as more of a weak acid is added to a buffer solution, its buffer capacity for strong acids increases.

Answer: If enough strong base is added to a buffer to react with all of the weak acids present, the buffer can no longer neutralize additional amounts of base, and the pH will dramatically increase.

AND

Increasing the concentration of weak acid and its conjugate base will increase the buffer capacity of a solution.
