We know already that buffering capacity refers to a substances ability to nutralize the pH. We would like to find how to calculate this number. We will be using this information to help us with a science fair project in which we place various forms of Calcium Carbonate into Hydrochloric Acid.We will then use a pressurizer to determine the amount of gas released in the reaction. Because we know that when a buffer reacts with a substance, emitting gas, then we think we would be able to determine which substance was the best buffer. We will then relate the information to real life situations. Any information you have will be greatly apreciated. Thank you! Kristy and Erin
