    1) A buffer solution resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added to it. 2) It maintains the pH of a system by containing substances that can remove hydrogen or hydroxide ions added to it. 3) An example is an acid buffer containing acetic acid and sodium acetate - the acetic acid donates hydrogen ions to neutralize added hydroxide ions while the sodium acetate absorbs hydrogen ions to neutralize added acids, keeping the pH stable.

    How Buffer Solutions

    Work

    A buffer solution is one which resists
    changes in pH when small quantities of
    an acid or an alkali or water are added
    to it.

    A buffer solution can maintain


    the pH of a system

    Page 3
    A buffer solution has to contain things
    which will remove any hydrogen ions or
    hydroxide ions that you might add to it.

    Otherwise the pH will change
    drastically.
