What factor can limit the buffering capacity of a molecule?

The concentration and pKa of an acid and its conjugate base can limit the buffering capacity of a molecule.

Explanation:

A buffer is an acid and its conjugate base and the quality of it depends on its buffer capacity. This buffer capacity is the resistance to change the pH of the solution when strong acids or bases are added. The buffer capacity is related to the buffer concentration, the concentration of the acid end its conjugate base. Also, every acid has a pKa and the buffer capacity is at its maximum at the pKa value and can buffer the solution between ± 1 the pKa value.

1.consider the following balanced equation and answer parts a through. show calculations for each part.  

3 ag(s) + 4 hno3(aq) → 3 agno3(aq) + no(g) + 2 h2o(l)  

a. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 3 moles of ag with excess hno3. if the number to the left of the compound represents the number of moles of the compound which are present, then 3 moles of ag react with 4 moles hno3 to produce 3 moles agno3 (aq).

so the answer to a would be 3 moles.

b. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

i'm not sure how to plug in the grams of silver into an equation using moles to find how many moles are produced.

c. calculate the number of grams of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3  

d. calculate the number of moles of no produced as a byproduct of the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

e. calculate the number of grams of no produced as a byproduct starting with 108 grams of ag and excess hno3.
