When the [base]/[acid] ratio is 1, pH = pKa, thWhen the [base]/[acid] ratio is 1, pH = pKa, the buffer efficiency is largest. e buffer efficiency is largest.
If the [base]/[acid] ratio is larger than 10 or sIf the [base]/[acid] ratio is larger than 10 or smaller than 0.1, the solution will not be particmaller than 0.1, the solution will not be particularly effective at keeping the pH constant. ularly effective at keeping the pH constant.

The H-H equation is really only valid in a pH range near the pKa of the only valid in a pH range near the pKa of the weak acid; therefore, we select a weak acid weak acid; therefore, we select a weak acid with a pKa near the pH range of interest with a pKa near the pH range of interest
