Do you know if benzoic acid and its sodium salt equally yield a buffer like acetic acid and its sodium salt?
I was just in the course of minor retouches on the question (mhchem, pu); maintaining as much from the original, when you provided an answer.

@PrittBalagopal For the acetate / benzoate question, I was simply surprised that benzoic acid and its salts may be used as a buffer, too.
I find it very handy inside the mathematical mode enclosed by $$. It will keep the units upright and maintain a non-breakable space between figure and unit.

@Tyberius: Phlogiston (not phologiston) is, as I said above in my answer, a historical alternative. Phlogiston theory is one of the most fascinating, really strong and deep theories that ever existed. MO-Theory is a sad thing in comparison. But HOMO/LUMO in combination with hard/soft acids may be quite a nice thing. Fleming says (in Grenzorbitale (1976, 3rd chapter, 3.1.1, German Edition, I translate): “But an explanation is provided by MO-Theory.” I myself think that the real explanation is located in acid-base-salt theory. But Fleming denies this, of course, because of the taboo ch = f (ph). — Zeus 13 hours ago
Hey guys, I am trying to do a relaxed scan about a torsion angle of a piano stool complex. However since the Cp-Ru bond is only defined in computer by specifying a dummy atom for the centroid of the Cp and dummy atoms cannot be used with modredundant, how can I wrote a relaxed scan of this in gaussian 09 or 16, or is there really no way to do it and I have to settle with a rigid scan?
