1 Ratio of the salt to the acid or base. 2  The buffer capacity is optimal when the ratio is 1:1; that is, when pH = pKa. 3  Total buffer concentration. 4  For example, it will take more acid or base to deplete a 0.5 M buffer than a 0.05 M buffer.
up vote 5 down vote. Buffer capacity or buffer index. The capacity of a solution to resist changes in pH on addition of acid or base, which may be expressed numerically as the number of moles of strong acid or strong base required to change the pH by one unit when added to one litre of the specified buffer solution.
