What is Understanding Buffer Solutions about?
Buffer solutions resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. They contain a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate salt. Common buffer systems in the human body include bicarbonate/carbonic acid which helps maintain the pH of blood at 7.4. A buffer works by reacting added H+ ions with its conjugate base, or added OH- ions with its conjugate acid, preventing a change in pH.
