Similarly, a buffer will break when the amount of strong base added is so large it consumes all the weak acid, through the reaction HA + OH- → A-+ H2O. A solution with more weak acid, [HA], has a higher buffer capacity for addition of strong base.
At what point is a buffer no longer effective?
Any buffer will lose its effectiveness if too much strong acid or base is added.
What will destroy a buffer?
So remember, a buffer is made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base. Now the only way to destroy a buffer is to just add too much strong acid or too much strong base.
