Problem

Explain why a buffer prepared with 0.50 M solutions of a weak acid and its conjugate base (mixed in a 1 : 1 mole ratio) can neutralize a larger amount of added strong acid than an otherwise identical buffer prepared with 0.10 M solutions in the same ratio, even though both buffers begin at the same pH.
