The ideal pH or pOH for a buffer to work at is the pK value of the acid or base that makes the buffer. So the strategy for picking a buffer is choose an acid with a pKa close to the desired pH and then adjust the salt to acid ratio until they equal.

When calibrating a pH controller, it is best to calibrate pH7 first and then to calibrate pH4 or pH10. /Type /Pages This is done by having an internal acid and base within the buffer solution, andthe internal acid and base can not neutralize each other (they must be a conjugate pair).

Lastly, Toxin Inactivation - below are commonly used inactivation procedures, though they may not be suitable for your particular toxin. endstream A recommended procedure for calibration is as follows (assuming calibrating with pH7 and then pH4): If you do not have distilled or de-ionised water readily available for rinsing probes, you may use clean tap water. The buffer equation is also known as the Henderson-Hasselbach equation is an expression of the equilibrium constant in terms of pValues, and making the assumption that the extent of reaction is negligible when you solve the ICE diagram for an acid or base in equilibrium with its conjugate (see section 17.1.2.1), \[K_{a}=\frac{[H^+]_e[A^-]_e}{[HA]_e}=\frac{x([A^-]_i+x)}{[HA]_i-x}\approx\frac{x[A^-]_i}{[HA]_i} \], That is, we can use the initial acid and salt concentration, \[K_{a}=\frac{[H^+]_e[A^-]_i}{[HA]_i} \label{17.2.8}\]. /Subtype /Form There are two important characteristics of a buffer, the pH it maintains, and how much external acid or base it can handle, its capacity.
